Comparison of antibiotic regimens for treating louse-borne relapsing fever: a meta-analysis.
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). The objective of this meta-analysis was to review the evidence supporting the use of antibiotics usually employed for treating LBRF.

Epidemic of louse-borne relapsing fever in Ethiopia
Lancet, The, 1993During 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.

Louse-borne relapsing fever in a refugee from Somalia arriving in Belgium. [PDF]
Journal of Travel Medicine, 2016 We report a case of louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) in a refugee from Somalia who had arrived in Belgium a few days earlier. He complained of myalgia and secondarily presented fever. Blood smears revealed spirochetes later identified as Borrelia recurrentis.

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

An epidemic of louse-borne relapsing fever in Kenya
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1947Summary 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.

ACUTE HÆMODYNAMIC CHANGES DURING TREATMENT OF LOUSE-BORNE RELAPSING FEVER
Lancet, The, 1967Abstract 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.

LEUCOPENIA AND FEVER IN THE "JARISCH-HERXHEIMER" REACTION OF LOUSE-BORNE RELAPSING FEVER
The Lancet, 1968Abstract The abrupt rise of body-temperature, arterial pressure, heart-rate, and respiratory rate and worsening of the lesions when spirochaetes are disappearing from the blood of patients with louse-borne relapsing fever, either spontaneously or after treatment, resemble events of the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.
