Extractions: NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - After one individual in a family develops symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, the diagnosis should immediately be considered in other family members with similar symptoms, according to a report in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Three clusters of the illness, each of which began with a child who died 6 to 8 days after initial treatment, are described in the report. In each cluster the first case, involving a child between the ages of 14 months and 7 years, was seen at a clinic or emergency department with fever and other nonspecific symptoms. A patient in Oklahoma was treated in late May, while the others, in Kentucky and Arizona, were first seen in August, report C. Levy, at the Arizona Department of Health Services, and associates. In the case of the 7-year old, the rash did not appear for several days after the first symptoms began. Soon after the children became ill, close relatives were diagnosed with the same condition; all survived. None of the six patients reported a history of tick bite.

Extractions: ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Rocky Mountain spotted fever is an acute infectious disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. The disease occurs throughout the United States during months when ground temperatures reach 40 degrees Fahrenheit or more and ticks are active. Who gets Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Both children and adults can be affected by Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Disease incidence is directly related to exposure to tick-infested habitats or to infested pets. In spite of the disease's name, few cases have been reported from the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. How is Rocky Mountain spotted fever spread? Rocky Mountain spotted fever is spread by the bite of an infected tick (the American dog tick or the lone-star tick) or by contamination of the skin with tick blood or feces. Person-to- person transmission does not occur. What are the symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Rocky Mountain spotted fever is characterized by a sudden onset of moderate to high fever (which can last for two or three weeks), severe headache, fatigue, deep muscle pain, chills and rash. The rash begins on the legs or arms, may include the soles of the feet or palms of the hands and may spread rapidly to the trunk or the rest of the body. Not every case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever will have the rash. How soon do symptoms appear?

Extractions: Objectives 1.Describe the clinicopathologic abnormalities associated with Rickettsia rickettsii infection in dogs. 2.Discuss factors which influence the prognosis for ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. 3.Describe how you would confirm a diagnosis of Rocky Mountain spotted fever. 4.Describe the zoonotic considerations associated with the diagnosis of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in a dog. Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is an infectious rickettsial disease of dogs, that is characterized by severe vascular damage. Canine susceptibility to Rickettsia rickettsii was demonstrated in 1933. Recent reports emphasize that, contrary to previous literature, untreated naturally-occurring RMSF can result in death. Clinical reports suggest that RMSF is a much more common cause of disease in dogs than was previously recognized. Geographic Distribution Despite its name and original description as a disease of humans in the western United States, the majority of human cases of RMSF occur in the southeastern United States. Human cases of RMSF have been reported from nearly every state in the United States, western Canada, Mexico, and South America. Distribution of the disease is related to the distribution of the vector ticks Dermacentor variabilis, the American dog tick found in the eastern United States, and Dermacentor andersoni, the wood tick, which is the principal vector in the western United States. Canine RMSF has been recognized in most southeastern states, New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio.

Extractions: Communicable Disease (tick-borne typhus fever) What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne disease caused by a rickettsia (a microbe that differs somewhat from bacteria and virus). Fewer than 50 cases are reported annually in New York State. Who gets RMSF? In the eastern United States, children are infected most frequently, while in the western United States, disease incidence is highest among adult males. Disease incidence is directly related to exposure to tick-infested habitats or to infested pets. Most of the cases in New York State have occurred on Long Island. How is RMSF transmitted? RMSF is spread by the bite of an infected tick. In New York, the American dog tick (dermacentar variablis) is the most common vector. It can also be transmitted by contamination of the skin with tick blood or feces. Person-to-person spread of RMSF does not occur. What are the symptoms of RMSF? RMSF is characterized by a sudden onset of moderate to high fever (which can last for two or three weeks), severe headache, fatigue, deep muscle pain, chills and rash. The rash begins on the legs or arms, may include the soles of the feet or palms of the hands and may spread rapidly to the trunk or rest of the body. When do symptoms appear?

Extractions: group in tick tissue RMSF, one type of spotted fever, is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii and is reported from across North America, but is most prevalent in the eastern U.S. The Rocky Mountain wood, American dog, and Pacific Coast ticks transmit the disease. The lone star ticks also transmits a spotted fever Rickettsia that causes similiar symptoms. Signs/Symptoms: Flu-like aches and pain, headache, chills, confusion, light sensitivity, and high fever. A reddish-to-black rash (resembling measles) starts on the extremities (e.g. wrists and ankles) and may spread to the entire body. Death can occur. Doctors must take a clinical diagnosis and treat early as the main cause of death is delayed or improper treatment. Back to Other Diseases

Das Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) gehört zu den Rickettsiosen und wird durch das Bakterium Rickettsia rickettsii hervorgerufen. Das Bakterium wird durch verschiedene Zeckenarten (Amblyomma, Rhipicephalus, Dermacentor) übertragen und kommt vornehmlich in Nord- und Südamerika vor. Die Übertragung erfolgt 6 Stunden nach dem Zeckenstich. Wird die Zecke vor Ablauf dieser Zeit entdeckt und entfernt, so ist eine Übertragung unwahrscheinlich. Hauterscheinungen treten nur bei etwa der Hälfte der Fälle auf.
