Epidemic of louse-borne relapsing fever in Ethiopia

Lancet, The, 1993
During summer 1991 an outbreak of louse-borne relapsing fever occurred simultaneously in two transit camps established for prisoners of war being returned from Eritrea at the end of the Ethiopian civil war. Only antibiotic treatment was given at the Bahr Dar camp where the frequency of cases increased for 20 days.

ACUTE HÆMODYNAMIC CHANGES DURING TREATMENT OF LOUSE-BORNE RELAPSING FEVER

Lancet, The, 1967
Abstract THE haemodynamic changes that followed treatment with tetracycline in ten patients with louse-borne relapsing fever who were admitted as emergencies fell into two phases. In the early phase there was a brief pressor response and a sharp rise in body-temperature.

Fourth case of louse-borne relapsing fever in Young Migrant, Sicily, Italy, December 2015. Mini Review Article [PDF]

Public Health, 2016
Objectives Currently louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is primarily found in limited endemic foci in Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan; no case of imported LBRF has been reported in Europe in the 9 years prior to 2015.

Comparison of antibiotic regimens for treating louse-borne relapsing fever: a meta-analysis [PDF]

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2011
The optimum treatment for louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) has not been fully established. Eliminating spirochetes is often associated with the potentially lethal Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (JHR).

An epidemic of louse-borne relapsing fever in Kenya

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1947
Summary 1. An epidemic of relapsing fever involving the hinterland of Mombasa and the Kenya Coast is described. 2. There were nearly 2,000 cases, with a 40 per cent, mortality in untreated cases. 3. Control measures rapidly terminated the epidemic. About 100,000 people were disinfested with 5 per cent, DDT powder.

New concepts for the old challenge of African relapsing fever borreliosis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Relapsing fever, caused by spirochaetes belonging to the genus Borrelia, was once the cause of worldwide epidemic disease. This was largely through infection with the louse-borne form of the disease, caused by Borrelia recurrentis (louse-borne relapsing ...

Ancient Borrelia genomes document the evolutionary history of louse-borne relapsing fever [PDF]

Science
Several bacterial pathogens have transitioned from tick-borne to louse-borne transmission, which often involves genome reduction and increasing virulence. However, the timing of such transitions remains unclear.
