| pappataci fever | Influenza-like febrile viral disease caused by several members of the bunyaviridae family and transmitted mostly by the bloodsucking sandfly phlebotomus papatasii. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| pappataci fever viruses | An unclassified serologic group of arboviruses morphologically like Bunyavirus but antigenically unrelated, transmitted by Phlebotomus papatasi (sandfly) and causing phlebotomus fever; there are 20 strains, including Icoarachi and Itaporanga. Synonym: pappataci fever viruses, sandfly fever viruses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papular fever | An affection characterised by mild fever, rheumatoid pains, and a maculopapular eruption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Manchurian fever | A fever closely resembling typhus that prevails from September to December in South Manchuria; the probable pathogen is Rickettsia manchuriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Manchurian haemorrhagic fever | A form of epidemic haemorrhagic fever caused by the Hantaan virus of the genus hantavirus. Synonym: Manchurian haemorrhagic fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rat-bite fever | A syndrome characterised by recurring fever, rash, and arthralgias occurring days to weeks after a rat bite. The causative agents are either streptobacillus moniliformis or spirillum minus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| paratyphoid fever | A prolonged febrile illness commonly caused by serotypes of salmonella paratyphi. It is similar to typhoid fever but less severe. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Marseilles fever | A febrile disease of the mediterranean area, the crimea, africa, and india, caused by infection with rickettsia conorii. (12 Dec 1998) |

| parenteric fever | One of a group of fever's clinically resembling typhoid and paratyphoid A and B, but caused by bacteria differing specifically from those of either of these diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recrudescent typhus fever | Recrudescence of epidemic typhus years after the initial attack. The agent that causes epidemic typhus (Rickettsia prowazekii) remains viable for many years and then when host defenses are down, it is reactivated causing recurrent typhus. The disease is named for the physician Nathan Brill and the great bacteriologist Hans Zinsser. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Carter's fever | An Asiatic relapsing fever caused by Borrelia carteri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent fever | An acute infection characterised by recurrent episodes of pyrexia alternating with asymptomatic intervals of apparent recovery. This condition has worldwide distribution and is caused by spirochetes of the genus borrelia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| red fever | An acute infectious disease with fever, headache, and rash, all quite similar to, but milder than, epidemic typhus, caused by a related microoganism, rickettsia typhi (mooseri), transmitted to humans by rat fleas (xenopsylla cheopis). The animal reservoir includes rats, mice and other rodents. Murine typhus occurs sporadically worldwide but is more prevalent in congested rat-infested urban areas. Also known as endemic typhus, rat-flea typhus; urban typhus of malaya). (12 Dec 1998) |
| parrot fever | <chest medicine, disease> Psittacosis is primarily an infectious disease of birds caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci. Transmission from infected birds results in a relatively rare febrile illness characterised by pneumonia and systemic symptoms. A flu-like illness can also occur. Almost any bird can harbor this bacterium in their excreta, tissues, feathers and secretions, but parrots, parakeets and budgerigars are the most common. Psittacosis is considered an occupational disease of pet shop owners. Psittacosis is almost always transmitted to humans by the respiratory route. Average incubation is 7-14 days. (27 Sep 1997) |
