TICK-BORNE RELAPSING FEVER CAUSED BY BORRELIA TURICATAE

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2002
Tick-borne relapsing fever manifests as relapsing episodes of fever with significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of Borrelia turicatae disease in a 13-year-old male youth with outdoor exposures in Texas. After multiple clinic visits the diagnosis was made, and treatment was initiated. The patient did well without long term sequelae.

Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever in Colorado

JAMA, 1979
Since 1915 the front range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains has been postulated as a focus of endemic tick-borne relapsing fever. However, the disease has rarely been identified: only two cases have been reported in Colorado since 1944. Three sporadic cases in 1977—tightly grouped geographically and temporally—prompted an epidemiologic review.

[Neurological complications of tick-borne relapsing fever].

Revista de neurologia, 2018
Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) can cause neurological complications. There are hardly any studies in Spain on this subject.To study the prevalence and clinical characteristics of neurological complications of patients with TBRF.We retrospectively reviewed all the patients attended with TBRF over 12 years (2004-2015) in a hospital in a rural area of ...

Louse and tick borne relapsing fevers.

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2014
Relapsing fever, caused by spirochaetes belonging to the genus Borrelia, was once the cause of worldwide epidemic zoonotic disease. This was largely through infection with the louse-borne form of the disease, caused by Borrelia recurrentis [(louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF)]. Another form of replasing fever is caused by Borrelia duttonii [(tick-borne

Tick-borne relapsing fever polymerase chain reaction of tick-borne relapsing fever caused by Borrelia hermsii.

The Pediatric infectious disease journal, 2007
A patient presented to our hospital with symptoms consistent with relapsing fever. A blood specimen was positive by genus-specific polymerase chain reaction, and sequencing revealed Borrelia hermsii. We propose the polymerase chain reaction as a possible alternative for currently used tests for the diagnosis of tick-borne relapsing fever.

[West African tick-borne relapsing fever].

Annales de biologie clinique, 2004
West African tick-borne relapsing fever is an endemic disease due to Borrelia crocidurae. The tick Alectorobius sonrai is the only known vector of this bacterium. Several species of rodents and insectivores may be reservoir for this spirochete. The geographic distribution of Borrelia crocidurae is not well known.
