severe and most frequently reported rickettsial illness in the
United States. It also occurs in Mexico and in Central and South
America. The disease is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a species
of bacteria that is spread to humans by ixodid (hard) ticks.
Initial signs and symptoms of the disease include sudden onset of
fever, headache, and muscle pain, followed by development of rash.
The disease can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and
without prompt and appropriate treatment it can be fatal. (CDC)
