Sažetak
Many of rickettsial diseases have chronically been under-reported and under-recognized by physicians, particularly in nonendemic areas. Today, in the era of increasing inter¬national travel, its recognition is becoming more important. This fact is emphasized not only by constant and significant epidemiological potential of rickettsioses in causing morbidity, but also by the significant changes that have occured in the classic patterns of the diseases as well as by constant changes in the factors that bring humans into constact with rickettsial reservoars/vectors. This review describes an experience at our Department with 60 serologically confirmed cases of rickettsioses: 38 cases of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF), 19 cases of Q-fever, 2 cases of murine typhus and 1 case of Brill-Zinser’s disease.
