Boutonneuse fever : ウィキペディア英語版 | Boutonneuse fever
Boutonneuse fever (also called Mediterranean spotted fever, ''fièvre boutonneuse'', Kenya tick typhus, Marseilles fever, or African tick-bite fever) is a fever as a result of a rickettsial infection caused by the bacterium ''Rickettsia conorii'' and transmitted by the dog tick ''Rhipicephalus sanguineus''. Boutonneuse fever can be seen in many places around the world, although it is endemic in countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. This disease was first described in Tunisia in 1910 by Conor and Bruch and was named ''boutonneuse'' (French for "spotty") due to its papular skin rash characteristics. ==Presentation== After an incubation period around seven days, the disease manifests abruptly with chills, high fevers, muscular and articular pains, severe headache, and photophobia. The location of the bite forms a black ulcerous crust (tache noire). Around the fourth day of the illness, a widespread rash appears, first macular and then maculopapular and sometimes petechial.
