    Dr. Zeeshan Afzal, a third-year medical resident in the UTRGV Family Medicine Residency Program at McAllen Medical Center, conducted a study on the prevalence of murine typhus, a flea-borne disease, in the Rio Grande Valley. The study concludes that the primary symptoms – high-grade fever, rash and body ache – often go misdiagnosed and can lead to more serious complications. He is urging primary care physicians to consider murine typhus when treating patients with acute fever. (UTRGV Photo by Paul Chouy)
