Extractions: Articles ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever December 4, 2001 (Reviewed: May 20, 2003) Question As an 8-year-old I was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). I'm now 33, and I'm wondering if RSMF can cause similar late complications as Lyme disease does. I suffer from joint pain, muscle pain, trouble sleeping, memory loss, and lack of concentration. This has been going off and on since I was 15. Answer Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RSMF) is the most prevalent rickettsial disease in the United States and is a growing infectious disease problem. First recognized in parts of Idaho and Montana it has since been reported throughout the United States. Nearly two thirds of RMSF patients are under 15 years of age, and, though antibiotics are highly effective, about 5%-7% of patients die. The wood tick in the west, the dog tick in the east, and the Lone Star tick in the southwest USA are all natural carriers of the disease. Fever, headache, rash, toxicity, mental confusion, and myalgia constitute the major clinical features of RMSF. Onset of disease usually occurs 2- 8 days after an infected tick bite. Fever rises rapidly and may be high. The rash appears by the second or third day in most patients - small red spots which occasionally bleed - first on the wrists and palm, ankles and soles, spreading to the trunk. Neurologic symptoms include seizures, blindness, deafness, and some paralysis.

It affects about 800 people a year in the US and usually occurs from April until October, but it can occur anytime during the year where weather is warm. The mid-Atlantic and southeastern states are most affected. The disease is spread to humans from contact with the tick; it is not spread from one person to another.

Extractions: Health Officials Issue Area Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Alert Public health officials are alerting residents of Cooke, Grayson and surrounding counties to take precautions against tick bites following recent confirmation of three Rocky Mountain spotted fever cases. A Grayson County man died and two residents of Cooke County had neurological complications after contracting Rocky Mountain spotted fever Symptoms usually begin 3 to 14 days after a bite by an infected tick. Symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever include moderate to high fever, severe headache, nausea or vomiting and muscle pain. In approximately 85 percent of cases, a rash appears about three days after onset of illness. People experiencing any of these symptoms within two weeks of a possible tick bite should see a doctor immediately. "We don't want people thinking all tick bites will cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The illness is rare, and few ticks carry it," said Jan Buck, with the Texas Department of Health's Zoonosis Control Program. "But we think it's important for people to know the symptoms and how to reduce the risk of infection." Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be cured with specific antibiotics if treated early. Health officials, however, say the best way to prevent the illness is to avoid ticks by staying out of woods, fields and other areas where ticks are found. If this is not possible, the following precautions are suggested:

Extractions: This acute, infectious disease is transmitted by ticks. The distinguishing feature is a characteristic rash. With early treatment, most children recover fully and develop permanent immunity. Untreated, however, the disease can be severe. Early medical intervention is thus essential. As the name implies, the disease causes a spotted rash and was first identified in the Rocky Mountain region. Now, more than half the annual cases occur in the Southeastern United States. Children from five to nine years of age are most frequently infected. Although the infected ticks are primarily encountered in the woods, they can also be found in suburban areas and occasionally urban areas. In almost half of reported cases, the tick bite was unnoticed. WHAT CAUSES ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER? RMSF is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii , a microorganism carried by rodents and other small mammals inhabiting infested areas. Ticks who feed on these animals acquire the microorganism and pass it along in their saliva. A child can pick up an infected tick directly when playing in a wooded, tick-infested area or indirectly from a pet who has picked one up.

Extractions: ABSTRACT: We describe two patients who had Rocky Mountain spotted fever after they were admitted to the hospital for emergency and elective surgical procedures. We initially thought one patient had a hospital-acquired infection; the correct diagnosis was deduced from epidemiologic clues elicited by consultants. These two cases were also unusual in that one patient had a recurrent rash after an abbreviated course of low-dose doxycycline therapy and the other patient had transient and self-limiting postinfectious polyneuropathy. These cases illustrate that community-acquired infection with Rickettsia rickettsii can occur simultaneously with other disease processes and sometimes mimic a nosocomial infection. ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER (RMSF) is often a difficult diagnosis to make, even for skilled clinicians who practice in locations where the disease is endemic. Misdiagnosis is common in clinical practice.1 Because of its diverse clinical features, RMSF has been confused with community-acquired illnesses such as meningococcemia, numerous viral exanthems, hypersensitivity reactions to drugs, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, acute appendicitis, and even acute cholecystitis.2-7

Extractions: Genus: Rickettsia Bacteria of the genus Rickettsia are carried as parasites by many ticks, fleas, and lice, and cause diseases such as typhus, scrub typhus, rickettsialpox, Brill-Zinsser disease, Boutonneuse fever, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever in human beings. Like viruses, they grow only in living tissue. Judging by the scientific literature, research into the genetics of rickettsiae has been less intense than into that of viruses and other bacteria. Diseases caused by some other bacteria, such as

Extractions: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) RMSF is a tick borne febrile illness most commonly characterized by acute onset and usually accompanied by malaise, myalgia, headache, nausea, and petechial rash. This rash is present in 2/3 of cases and appears as small red spots or blotches that begin on the wrist, ankles, palms, and soles. It spreads up the arms and legs toward the trunk. It is the most prevalent rickettsial disease in the U.S. In Michigan, most RMSF cases have been reported from the lower half of the Lower Peninsula. Additionally, cases are regularly reported from northwestern Ohio and northern Indiana. RMSF is caused by tiny, roundish bacteria called Rickettsia rickettsii , which are transmitted through the bite of a tick. Several tick vectors may be involved in RMSF transmission, but the primary one in Michigan is the American Dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis . This tick is the most common tick in the state and is found throughout Michigan. Symptoms:

The germ is harbored by wild rodents and other animals and is carried by infected ticks that attach themselves to humans. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is most prevalent in the NW United States, although it may be encountered in other tick-infested regions. Symptoms include chills and high fever; a rose-colored skin rash that appears first on the wrists and ankles and spreads to the trunk, the spots turning deep red and running together; headache; and pains in the back, muscles, and joints. In severe cases there may be delirium or coma. Spotted fever is a serious disease; however, it is not usually fatal if prompt antibiotic treatment is administered. Immunization with vaccine is effective.
