What are the first-line treatment options for a patient diagnosed with typhus, and how should I monitor their progress?

First-line treatment options for typhus: The provided UK guideline context does not include specific recommendations for the treatment of typhus. The context and references focus exclusively on Lyme disease management, including antibiotic regimens and monitoring strategies for Lyme disease, but do not address typhus.

Monitoring progress: Since typhus treatment guidance is not covered in the provided context, no specific monitoring recommendations can be extracted. Generally, for infectious diseases like typhus, clinical monitoring involves assessing symptom resolution and watching for complications, but this is not detailed here.

For accurate and evidence-based treatment and monitoring of typhus, consult specific infectious disease guidelines or public health resources relevant to typhus management.
