Rickettsia A microorganism of the genus Rickettsia, made up of small rod-shaped coc-coids occurring in fleas, lice, ticks, and mites by which they are transmitted to man and other animals causing diseases such as typhus, scrub typhus, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in humans. [Pg.331]

Tetracyclines are effective in the treatment of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, murine typhus, recrudescent epidemic typhus, scrub typhus, Q fever, lymphogranuloma venereum, psittacosis, tularemia, brucellosis, gonorrhea, certain urinary tract infections, granuloma inguinale, chancroid, syphilis, and disease due to Bacteroides and Clostridium. [Pg.681]

Rickettsial Infections Tetracyclines may be life-saving in rickettsial infections, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, recrudescent epidemic typhus, scrub typhus, rickettsialpox, and Q fever. Improvement often is evident within 24 hours. Doxycycline is the drug of choice for suspected or proven Rocky Mountain spotted fever in adults and children, including those <9 years of age, in whom the risk of staining of teeth is outweighed by the seriousness of the potentially fatal infection. [Pg.764]

In rare cases, other viral and bacterial infections can cause a hemorrhagic fever scrub typhus is a good example. [Pg.88]

Several distinct Rickettsiae species cause typhus fevers in humans. Each agent produces disease with a distinct epidemiology, but all cause illness, usually with fever, headache, or rash, or a combiitation of these. Treatment of all forms of typhus is similar and include.s administration of appropriate antibiotics (tor example, the tetracycline class) and supportive care relapses are infrequent. Epidemic typhus is passed from perst)n to person by the body louse. Endemic, or murine, typhus occurs worldwide and is transmitted by rat fleas. Different tickbome typhus fevers occur in Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Asia. Scrub typhus, transmitted by rodent mites, occurs in a large area from the Indian subcontinent to Australia and in much of Asia, including Japan, China, Korea, and parts of Russia. [Pg.110]
