Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index R rocky mountain spotted fever Search rocky mountain spotted fever Rocky mountain spotted fever is a potentially dangerous tick born disease caused by the organism Rickettsia rickettsii. It typically presents with a combination of fever, headache and rash in a tick-exposed individual. However, the classic "triad" occurs in about half of patients, and the diagnosis may be missed especially early on in the illness because of lack of specific symptoms or failure to consider the possibility. It is transmitted in the eastern and southeastern US by the dog tick; in the Rocky Mountain area the vector is the wood tick (Lyme disease is generally spread by the deer tick). The tick does not have to bite to transmit the disease, so any history of tick exposure is significant for RMSF, There are about 600 cases per year in the US. North Carolina is the state with the highest incidence. RMSF typically occurs in the spring and summer, with most cases appearing from April to September;

Like bacteria, they have cell walls, process enzymes, utilize oxygen, and are susceptible to antibiotics. Like viruses, they require living cells for growth. Because they multiply in endothelial cells of small blood vessels, the resulting damage is the cause of the "spotted" appearance. An increase in the number of cases of RMSF has been reported. At the time of this writing, the only states that have not reported "domestic" cases of RMSF is Maine, Vermont and Hawaii. Clinicians throughout the United States need to consider RMSF in children with rash and fever, particularly those with a history of tick bite or who present during April to September when approximately 90% of RMSF cases occur.
