A patient who had been exposed to ticks and who had also been bitten by a laboratory rat developed fever, headache, and a rash. He was treated with chloramphenicol for Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and recovered. Blood cultures, however, grew Streptobacillus moniliformis, a causative agent of rat bite fever. The case report illustrates the clinical similarities between rat bite fever and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
一名曾接触过蜱虫且被实验室大鼠咬伤的患者出现发热、头痛和皮疹。他因落基山斑疹热接受了氯霉素治疗并康复。然而，血培养结果显示生长出念珠状链杆菌，这是鼠咬热的病原体。该病例报告说明了鼠咬热和落基山斑疹热在临床上的相似之处。
