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:
Symptoms begin 3-12 days after tick exposure. Once symptoms develop, death can occur within two weeks without proper treatment. At the time of initial presentation, the classic triad of RMSF, fever, rash and history of tick bite, is often present.

What is Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever?
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is an infection caused by the bite of an infected tick. 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. What are the symptoms of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever? The following are the most common symptoms of RMSF. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
  • a non-itchy rash that usually starts on the hands, arms, feet, and legs occurs seven to 10 days after the bite fever headache decreased appetite chills sore throat stomach ache nausea or vomiting diarrhea body aches sensitivity to light
Death has occurred in untreated cases of RMSF.

What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever?
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a disease caused by a microorganism transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis ) and by several other tick species. Only 15 cases were reported in Wisconsin between 1980 and 2000. Most of these infections were acquired outside of Wisconsin. Who gets RMSF?
RMSF is rare in Wisconsin. The majority of cases in the U.S. occur in the southeastern states. In spite of its name, the disease is not common in the mountain states. Children and young adults are most frequently affected. Disease incidence is directly related to exposure to tick infested habitats. How is RMSF spread?
RMSF is spread by the bite of an infected tick (the American dog tick, the lone-star tick or the wood tick) or by contamination of the skin with the tick's body fluids or feces. Person to person and direct animal to human transmission of RMSF does not occur. What are the symptoms of RMSF?

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;

Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Overseas information: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/Index.htm An infectious disease transmitted to humans by the bite of ticks.
In the western U.S., the causative agent R rickettsii is transmitted by the wood tick, and in the eastern U.S., by the dog tick. Other ticks transmit the infection in the southern U.S. and in Central and South America. Two-thirds of recent cases have been reported in North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. Most cases occur in the spring and summer with about 1,000 cases reported per year. The incubation period of the illness is from 2 to 14 days after the tick bite. Symptoms usually start suddenly with a persistent fever. A rash will appear 2 to 5 days after the onset of the fever. The incidence of infection is 8 out of 100,000 people. The risk factors include recent hiking or exposure to ticks in an endemic area.
PREVENTION
When walking or hiking in tick-infested areas, tuck long pants into socks to protect the legs, and wear shoes and long sleeved shirts. Ticks will show up on white or light colours better than dark colours, making them easier to remove from clothing. Remove ticks immediately by using a tweezers, pulling carefully and steadily. Insect repellent maybe helpful.
SYMPTOMS
- chills
- fever
- severe headache
- muscle pain
- mental confusion - rash, first appearing on wrists and ankles, then spreading to most of the body

Definition
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne illness caused by a bacteria, resulting in a high fever and a characteristic rash. Description The bacteria causing RMSF is passed to humans through the bite of an infected tick. The illness begins within about two weeks of such a bite. RMSF is the most widespread tick-borne illness in the United States, occurring in every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The states in the mid-Atlantic region, the Carolinas, and the Virginias have a great deal of tick activity during the spring and summer months, and the largest number of RMSF cases come from those states. About 5% of all ticks carry the causative bacteria. Children under the age of 15 years have the majority of RMSF infections. Causes and symptoms The bacterial culprit in RMSF is called Rickettsia rickettsii . It causes no illness in the tick carrying it, and can be passed on to the tick's offspring. When a tick attaches to a human, the bacteria is passed. The tick must be attached to the human for about six hours for this passage to occur. Although prompt tick removal will cut down on the chance of contracting RMSF, removal requires great care. If the tick's head and body are squashed during the course of removal, the bacteria can be inadvertently rubbed into the tiny bite wound. Symptoms of RMSF begin within two weeks of the bite of the infected tick. Symptoms usually begin suddenly, with high fever, chills

(tickborne typhus fever) What is Rocky Mountain spotted fever?
Rocky mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a disease caused by a rickettsial organism. It is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected American dog tick and frequently by other tick species. Who gets RMSF?
In the eastern United States, children are infected most frequently, while in the western United States, adult males are the most likely to get the disease. The chance of getting RMSF is directly related to exposure to tick-infested habitats or to infested pets. How is RMSF spread?
RMSF is spread by the bite of an infected tick (the American dog tick, the Lone-Star tick or the wood tick), or by contamination of the skin with tick blood or feces. It cannot be spread from one person to another. What are the symptoms of RMSF?
RMSF is characterized by a sudden onset of moderate to high fever (which can last for 2 or 3 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. How soon do symptoms appear?

Tick-borne Disease, 1996 Report
ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER
Two cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever were reported in 1996. The first case was reported in a 35 year-old Garfield county male. The date of onset of was May 27 when he developed fever (>100.5), headache and a palmar/plantar rash. No exposure information available. He was treated with doxycycline and erythromycin. Disposition of the case was ‘probable’ based on a single elevated antibody titer. The second case occurred in a 54 year-old Clear Creek county woman that was reported on June 6. She suffered from fever, headache, myalgia and a generalized rash that involved the palms and soles (palmar/plantar). She was hospitalized and treated with doxycycline and amoxicillin. The patient denied a tick bite but lived in a tick infested area.
RELAPSING FEVER
One case of relapsing fever was reported in 1996. A 65 year- old woman became ill in August (exact onset date not available), with compatible clinical symptoms. The patient was a Texas resident that was staying in an Estes Park rental cabin. This cabin was reportedly the source of a relapsing fever case in 1994. The Texas Department of Health also reported three cases of relapsing fever diagnosed in hunters whose probable source was a hunting cabin in southern Colorado. According to one of the patients, he owns an old, poorly maintained cabin outside of Pagosa Springs. Each fall two or three people arrive to prepare the cabin for hunting groups to use and for the past several years, the persons opening the cabin usually become ill with a intermittent febrile illness. Methods for treating the cabin were discussed.
