Amongst the diseases caused by rickettsiae are epidemic typhus, trench fever and murine typhus, caused by R. prowozefa) R. quintana a.nA R. typhi, respectively. Q-fever is caused by Coxiella burned.

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. 

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. 

Typhus fever Rickettsial disease that occurs in a variety of forms including epidemic, endemic (murine), and scrub typhus. 

Sensory systems Hearing A 55-year-old man with confirmed murine typhus developed bilateral hearing loss 9 days after the onset of fever and after taking azithromycin 500mg/day for 3 days [75 ]. The authors postulated that the typhus infection had probably caused the deafness but could not exclude an adverse reaction to azithromycin.
