Abstract
The spotted fever rickettsia, Rickettsia helvetica, is mostly reported to present a flu-like self-limiting disease. In the present case, however, where the presence of R. helvetica in the blood was verified by PCR together with serologic evidence of infection, the patient presented a different clinical picture with acute febrile illness, rash and long-lasting myasthenia.
摘要
斑点热立克次体，即瑞士立克次体，大多报道显示会引发一种类似流感的自限性疾病。然而，在本病例中，通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）证实血液中存在瑞士立克次体，同时有感染的血清学证据，患者却呈现出不同的临床症状，表现为急性发热性疾病、皮疹和持续性肌无力。
