Abstract

Rocky Mountain spotted fever is typically undifferentiated from many other infections in the first few days of illness. Treatment should not be delayed pending confirmation of infection when Rocky Mountain spotted fever is suspected. Doxycycline is the drug of choice even for infants and children less than 8 years old.

摘要

落基山斑疹热在疾病的最初几天通常与许多其他感染无法区分。当怀疑患有落基山斑疹热时，不应等待感染得到确认再进行治疗。即使对于 8 岁以下的婴儿和儿童，多西环素也是首选药物。
