尽管在突尼斯中部有地中海斑疹热或“boutonneuse”热(MSF)的记录,但在本地区,其他斑疹热群立克次体病(SFGR)和斑疹伤寒群立克次体病(TGR)很少受到关注。我们试图确定立克次体病、Q热、埃利希体病和巴顿氏菌在急性发热患者中的作用。本文报告了47例不明原因急性发热患者的研究结果。我们得出结论,SFGR、鼠斑疹伤寒和急性Q热是突尼斯中部夏季急性分离性发热的常见原因,应对不明原因急性发热患者进行系统调查。
Although Mediterranean spotted or "boutonneuse" fever (MSF) has been documented in central Tunisia, other spotted fever group rickettsioses (SFGR) and typhus group rickettsioses (TGR) have received little attention in our region. We sought to determine the role of rickettsioses, Q fever, ehrlichioses, and bartonelloses among patients with acute fever. The results of this study of 47 persons with acute fever of undetermined origin are reported in this paper. We concluded that SFGR, murine typhus, and acute Q fever are common causes of acute isolate fever in summer in central Tunisia and should be investigated systematically in patients with acute fever of unknown origin.
