Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Spotted fever group rickettsioses are an interesting group of infections, which are increasing in incidence worldwide.
Case presentation
Here we describe an imported case to the United Kingdom occurring in a patient who had recently visited Kruger National Park in South Africa – a highly endemic area for Rickettsia infections. Initial treatment with doxycycline failed but the patient made a prompt recovery after commencement of ciprofloxacin.
Conclusion
This finding raises the possibility that there are resistant strains of Rickettsia present.
