The clinical picture varies considerably. On the one extreme are ambulatory patients and abortive attacks and on the other fulminating infections with an early fatal termination.

I read with interest two articles on Rocky Mountain spotted or "tick" fever inThe Journal, July 7, 1906. This fever exists in Nevada, but cases do not seem to be so numerous or so fatal as those occurring in Idaho, Utah and Montana. Here they occur almost, if not exclusively, among sheep-herders, so I am somewhat surprised that Dr. H. N.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is the most virulent form of a group of tick- and mite-borne zoonotic infections known as spotted fevers and caused by various rickettsiae. RMSF has a case-fatality rate of 20% unless treated promptly with appropriate antibiotics. Early diagnosis is difficult.
