We report cases of spotted fever rickettsiosis in Coronel Fabriciano Municipality of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The cases occurred in May and June of 2000. During this period there were two deaths among children from an area named Pedreira in a periurban area of this municipality. In a boy who died with clinical manifestations of Brazilian spotted fever, a necropsy revealed the presence of a spotted fever group Rickettsia. The serological results confirm the difficulty in the differential diagnosis of patients with symptoms of rickettsial diseases.
我们报告了巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州法布里西阿诺上校市斑点热立克次体病的病例。这些病例发生在2000年5月和6月。在此期间，该市城郊地区一个名为佩德雷拉的区域有两名儿童死亡。在一名死于巴西斑点热临床表现的男孩身上，尸检发现了斑点热群立克次体。血清学结果证实了立克次体病症状患者鉴别诊断的困难。
