Abstract
The clinical and epidemiological feature of 246 cases of Mediterranean boutonneuse fever diagnosed in 1983-1988 were evaluated. It was found that the clinical and epidemiological profile of the disease remained stable as compared with previous studies. The frequent muscle involvement, with increase in serum muscular enzymes in up to 32% of patients and with histologically documented myositis in 2 patients is emphasized. 7% of patients had severe forms of the disease. The risk factors of these forms were evaluated, and the different features in adults and children were compared. The outcome was favourable in all patients.
