Tick-borne rickettsioses are emerging diseases in Europe. The Mediterranean region is endemic for rickettsioses, but the disease can also occur in other European countries. Ticks can be a vector of these bacteria. Spotted fevers caused by rickettsiae have nonspecific symptoms and are difficult to diagnose. The results of serological tests are positive many days after the onset of symptoms. PCR method can be useful in the diagnostic process. In the article we discuss the problem of rickettsia in Europe.
蜱传立克次体病在欧洲正成为新兴疾病。地中海地区是立克次体病的流行区，但该病也可能在其他欧洲国家发生。蜱可能是这些细菌的传播媒介。立克次体引起的斑疹热症状不具特异性，难以诊断。症状出现许多天后血清学检测结果才呈阳性。聚合酶链反应方法在诊断过程中可能有用。在本文中，我们讨论了欧洲的立克次体问题。
