Objective: To assess public knowledge, practices and perceptions on typhus fevers in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive study was done in four selected typhus- prone areas in Southern Sri Lanka. A mixed-method was employed using face-to-face interviews and questionnaire-based surveys among confirmed cases of typhus and at-risk populations, respectively. Frequencies, percentages, and means were used to characterize socio-demography and evaluate disease awareness. Results: The lay terms for typhus fevers reported in the studied region were “peacock fever”, “tick fever” and “bird fever”. A total of 499 subjects participated [mean±SD, (45±16) years] in the questionnaire-based survey, and 13.6% ( n =68) reported past experience of typhus fever, 1.2% ( n =6) identified the disease as “typhus” while 58.7% ( n =293) and 11.8% ( n =59) knew it as ‘peacock fever’ and ‘tick fever’, respectively. The etiological agent was unknown to 95.2% ( n =475), but 53.5% (( n =267) were aware that it was vector-borne. Fever (57.3%, n =286), eschar (35.7%, n =178), headache (22.0%, n =267) and myalgia (19.2%, n =96) were identified as key symptoms. Past disease experience was significantly associated with higher awareness of the main disease symptoms (fever: χ 2 =15.713, P <0.001; headache: χ 2 =19.447, P <0.001; lymphadenopathy: Fisher’s exact test, P =0.023; eschar: χ 2 =12.049, P <0.001). None knew of any disease prevention methods. Participants with a past history of typhus fever had sought treatment at state hospitals (55.9%, 38/68) and private sector hospitals (5.9%, 4/68). Conclusions: Public awareness on preventive practices for typhus fevers was rare among the participants though vector-borne aspect was known to many. Clinical disease awareness was deficient among those without past experience of typhus fever. Community sensitization on vector avoidance strategies is highly recommended.
