• Vesicular Rash

  It is considered to be mostly mild and is characterized by fever, headache, and myalgia followed by the development of a maculopapular or vesicular rash, an inoculation eschar (65% of cases), and lymphadenopathy (71%) ( 5 ). [jb.asm.org]

The disease can be severe with a mortality of up to 60% without antibiotic treatment. But this can be reduced to below 5% with antibiotic and supportive treatment [1]. [ecdc.europa.eu]

Defervescence was reported to occur rapidly following treatment in all cases. Three cases reported treatment with Coartem (Artemether-Lumefantrine) at local clinics before treatment at the hospital. [ojs.wpro.who.int]

Following prompt antimicrobial treatment, titers generally decline below detectable levels within 8 to 11 months. With relapse, prior immunization, or delayed antibiotic treatment, IgG levels may remain elevated for more than a year postonset. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

Prognosis Although prognosis of systemic infection is good in most cases, rickettsioses may be severe and potentially lethal, and should be treated accordingly [ 1 ]. [omicsonline.org]

“This is best achieved by removing and preventing entry of rodents or other small mammals from homes and using flea prevention products on pets to prevent infestations.” [contagionlive.com]

Prevention Freedom from louse infestation is the most effective protection against typhus. Maintain good personal hygiene. Wear protective clothing, including long sleeves, pants, and shoes. [iamat.org]

Prevention Exclusion of people with rickettsial infections from childcare, preschool, school and work is not necessary. There is no vaccine available to prevent infection. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]

It is situated near Ukraine – a highly contaminated area, with poor hygiene conditions; roads became impassable in winter, preventing application of preventive measures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
