Bleeding in louse-borne relapsing fever I. Clinical studies in 37 patients
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1971 Abstract 37 patients with louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) were investigated. In 21 there was evidence of bleeding. Thrombocytopenia, with platelelet counts below 150,000/c.mm., was found in 31 (84%). This was attributed to increased consumption due to intravascular clotting and to pooling in the enlarged spleen. There was a significant correlation
