“…4 This disease was also recognized in other states in the Rocky Mountains with similar epidemiology; however, the CFR appeared significantly lower. [5][6][7][8][9] The cause of RMSF was identified as an obligate intracellular organism now named Rickettsia rickettsii. 4,10 By the early 1930s, physicians recognized the same disease in the eastern and southern United States, largely among children.…”

Abstract. Death from Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is preventable with prompt, appropriate treatment. Data from two independent sources were analyzed to estimate the burden of fatal RMSF and identify risk factors for fatal RMSF in the United States during 1999-2007. Despite increased reporting of RMSF cases to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, no significant changes in the estimated number of annual fatal RMSF cases were found. American Indians were at higher risk of fatal RMSF relative to whites (relative risk [RR] = 3.9), and children 5-9 years of age (RR = 6.0) and adults 70 years of age (RR = 3.0) were also at increased risk relative to other ages. Persons with cases of RMSF with an immunosuppressive condition were at increased risk of death (RR = 4.4). Delaying treatment of RMSF was also associated with increased deaths. These results may indicate a gap between recommendations and practice.

What is Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF)? Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a disease caused by the bacteria (germ) Rickettsia rickettsii. Where do cases of RMSF occur? RMSF is a rare disease in Massachusetts. Between 1995-2005, six cases were reported. The disease is most often reported from the southeastern part of the state, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. How is RMSF spread? In the Northeast, RMSF is spread by the bite of an infected dog tick, also called the eastern wood tick. The longer a tick remains attached and feeding, the higher the likelihood that it may spread the bacteria. However, unlike for other tickborne diseases, the germ that causes RMSF often spreads within 24 hours of the tick attaching. How soon do symptoms of RMSF appear after a tick bite? Symptoms usually start to appear about 7 days after the bite of an infected tick, but can begin anywhere between 3 and 14 days.
