Sažetak
At the clinical and epidemiological levels our study shows that at least four rickettioses exist in the Zadar area: murine typhus, Q fever, boutounneuse fever and epidemic typhus. Serosurveys revealed that the Zadar area is a highly endemic area for murine typhus white the seropositivity rates for the other three rickettsioses was much lower. The analysis of clinical features of rickettsioses in our patients, together with the results of serological analysis, indicate that the main diagnostic problems of the rickettsial diseases include misdiagnosed as well as undiagnosed diseases.
