Clinical presentations of rickettsial illnesses vary, but common early symptoms, including fever, headache, and malaise, are generally nonspecific. Illnesses resulting from infection with rickettsial agents may go unrecognized or are attributed to other causes. Atypical presentations are common and may be expected with poorly characterized nonindigenous agents, so appropriate samples for examination by specialized reference laboratories should be obtained. | Clinical presentations of rickettsial illnesses vary, but common early symptoms, including fever, headache, and malaise, are generally nonspecific.

Overview
Clinical presentations of rickettsial illnesses vary, but common early symptoms, including fever, headache, and malaise, are generally nonspecific. Illnesses resulting from infection with rickettsial agents may go unrecognized or are attributed to other causes. Atypical presentations are common and may be expected with poorly characterized nonindigenous agents, so appropriate samples for examination by specialized reference laboratories should be obtained.[1]
