SPOTTED FEVER GROUP RICKETTSIOSIS IN JAPAN

Japanese Journal of Medical Science and Biology, 1985
The acute febrile disease with characteristic rash encountered in Tokushima Prefecture was proved to be a spotted fever group rickettsiosis, which showed a significant rise in agglutinins to both Proteus OX2 and OX19 and significantly high levels of CF antibodies to Rickettsia akari and Rickettsia rickettsii.
