Homeless people in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were found to have high rates of Bartonella spp. and typhus group rickettsiae. Bartonella quintana DNA was detected in body lice pools and blood samples. Clinicians should consider vectorborne agents as potential causes of febrile syndromes in this population.
Persons experiencing homelessness in Sao Paulo, Bra-zil, were seropositive for Bartonella spp. (79/109, 72.5%) and typhus group rickettsiae (40/109, 36.7%). Bartonella quintana DNA was detected in 17.1% (14/82) body louse pools and 0.9% (1/114) blood samples. Clinicians should consider vectorborne agents as potential causes of fe-brile syndromes in this population.
