Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae infection in a woman travelling from Cameroon: a case report and review of the literature

Agathe Nouchi et al. J Travel Med. .

Abstract

Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae is now a well-known cause of human rickettsial infection, with 52 reported cases, including 47 in southern Europe and one in South Africa. We report the first case of R. sibirica mongolitimonae in Central Africa, likely a sentinel case for a more common disease than originally suspected.

Keywords: Cameroon; Exanthema; Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae; Rickettsiosis.
