Descriptions
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the most severe and most frequently reported rickettsial illness in the United States, and has been diagnosed throughout the Americas. Some synonyms for Rocky Mountain spotted fever in other countries include tick typhus , Tobia fever (Colombia), Sao Paulo fever or febre maculosa (Brazil), and fiebre manchada (Mexico). The disease is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii , a species of bacteria that is spread to humans by hard ticks (Ixodidae). Initial signs and symptoms of the disease include sudden onset of fever, headache, and muscle pain, followed by development of rash. The disease can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and without prompt and appropriate treatment it can be fatal. Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first described in 1896 in the Snake River Valley of Idaho and was originally called black measles because of the characteristic rash.
