Abstract

We report the first case of rickettsialpox caused by Rickettsia akari in the Netherlands. The diagnosis was suspected based on clinical grounds and was confirmed by Western blot analysis with cross-adsorption. Because the arthropod vector (Liponyssoides sanguineus) is ubiquitous, we suspect that the disease is under-diagnosed in non-endemic areas.

摘要

我们报告了首例由荷兰的无形体引起的立克次体痘。该诊断基于临床依据，并通过交叉吸附的 Western blot 分析得到确认。由于节肢动物媒介（嗜血性革螨）无处不在，我们怀疑在非流行地区该疾病的诊断不足。
