Abstract
NAVARRO CARRILLO, Alicia et al. Varicelliform rickettsiosis or rickettsial pox. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.3, pp.256-258. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2011000300014.
Rickettsia is a genus of intracellular, gram-negative bacteria that requires a vector for transmission. Spotted fever caused by Rickettsia is endemic in our region (Albacete), especially in rural areas. We present a patient with an unusual variety of Rickettsial disease, characterised by papulovesicular lesions.
Keywords : Rickettsioses; Rickettsia Akari; Spotted Fever.
