Like bacteria, they have cell walls, process enzymes, utilize oxygen, and are susceptible to antibiotics. Like viruses, they require living cells for growth. Because they multiply in endothelial cells of small blood vessels, the resulting damage is the cause of the "spotted" appearance. An increase in the number of cases of RMSF has been reported. At the time of this writing, the only states that have not reported "domestic" cases of RMSF is Maine, Vermont and Hawaii. Clinicians throughout the United States need to consider RMSF in children with rash and fever, particularly those with a history of tick bite or who present during April to September when approximately 90% of RMSF cases occur.

[Text Version] Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) RMSF is a tick borne febrile illness most commonly characterized by acute onset and usually accompanied by malaise, myalgia, headache, nausea, and petechial rash. This rash is present in 2/3 of cases and appears as small red spots or blotches that begin on the wrist, ankles, palms, and soles. It spreads up the arms and legs toward the trunk. It is the most prevalent rickettsial disease in the U.S. In Michigan, most RMSF cases have been reported from the lower half of the Lower Peninsula. Additionally, cases are regularly reported from northwestern Ohio and northern Indiana. RMSF is caused by tiny, roundish bacteria called Rickettsia rickettsii , which are transmitted through the bite of a tick. Several tick vectors may be involved in RMSF transmission, but the primary one in Michigan is the American Dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis . This tick is the most common tick in the state and is found throughout Michigan. Symptoms: Symptoms begin 3-12 days after tick exposure. Once symptoms develop, death can occur within two weeks without proper treatment. At the time of initial presentation, the classic triad of RMSF, fever, rash and history of tick bite, is often present.
