Fatal Case of Mediterranean Spotted Fever Associated with Septic Shock, Iran.

Project description:A fatal case of Mediterranean spotted fever associated with septic shock was reported in a 61-year-old man living in a village in southeastern Iran. The patient had a history of tick bite a few days before symptom onset. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed infection by Rickettsia conorii subspecies israelensis.

Intralesional host response within eschars in Mediterranean spotted fever

Project description:The host response within the eschar of inoculation during Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) has been poorly studied. Our objective was to evaluate the host response by comparing transcriptional profiles of eschars to controls using a whole-genome microarray. Hierarchical clustering revealed a signature of eschars consisting of 698 genes. The genes included in this signature were mainly up-regulated and were predominantly associated with immune response and signalling. New molecules involved notably in microbicidal and innate immunity response have also been found up-regulated in eschars such as MMP1, Defensin β4, the proinflammatory S100A9, and the T cell attracting CCL-18. Genes down-regulated were mainly associated with biological regulation. We also observed that eschars from severe cases of MSF displayed a specific signature with notably difference in degree of modulation compared to eschars from non severe MSF cases. Some parameters identified in this work should be tested as biomarkers for prognostic assessment in future studies.

Two Cases of Israeli Spotted Fever with Purpura Fulminans, Sharon District, Israel.

Project description:We report a series of 5 case-patients who had Israeli spotted fever, of whom 2 had purpura fulminans and died. Four case-patients were given a diagnosis on the basis of PCR of skin biopsy specimens 3-4 days after treatment with doxycycline; 1 case-patient was given a diagnosis on the basis of seroconversion. Rickettsia spp. from the 2 case-patients who died were sequenced and identified as Rickettsia conorii subsp. israelensis. Purpura fulminans has been described in association with R. rickettsii and R. indica, but rarely with R. conorii subsp. israelensis.

Fatal Brazilian Spotted Fever Associated with Dogs and Amblyomma aureolatum Ticks, Brazil, 2013.

Project description:In São Paulo metropolitan area, Brazil, Amblyomma aureolatum ticks are the main vector of Rickettsia rickettsii, which causes Brazilian spotted fever. In 2013, a boy in São Paulo died of Brazilian spotted fever associated with household dogs and A. aureolatum ticks. Prompt recognition and treatment of this illness might prevent deaths.

Mediterranean spotted fever in Spain, 1997-2014: Epidemiological situation based on hospitalization records.

Project description:IntroductionMediterranean spotted fever (MSF) is a zoonotic disease caused by Rickettsia conorii. In Spain, deficiencies in the official reporting result in misreporting of this disease. This study aims to describe the clinical and temporal-spatial characteristics of MSF hospitalizations between 1997 and 2014.Materials and methodsWe performed a retrospective descriptive study using the Hospitalization Minimum Data Set (CMBD). All CMBD's hospital discharges with ICD-9 CM code 082.1 were analyzed. Hospitalization rates were calculated and clinical characteristics were described. Spatial distribution of cases and their temporal behavior were also assessed.ResultsA total of 4,735 hospitalizations with MSF diagnosis were recorded during the study period, out of which 62.2% were male, mean age of 48. Diabetes mellitus, alcohol dependence syndrome, and chronic liver disease occurred in 10.8%, 2.4% and 2.8% hospitalizations, respectively. The median annual hospitalization rate showed a decreasing trend from a maximum of 12.9 in 1997 to a minimum rate of 3.1 in 2014. Most admissions occurred during the summer, showing a significant annual seasonal behavior. Important regional differences were found.DiscussionAlthough MSF hospitalization rates have decreased considerably, it remains a public health problem due to its severity and economic impact. Therefore, it would be desirable to improve its oversight and surveillance.
