| relapsing f. |
an acute infectious, systemic, usually self-limited disease of worldwide distribution, caused by various species of the genus Borrelia; it may be either endemic or epidemic and is transmitted by the bites of either the body louse (Pediculus humanus corporis), for which humans are the reservoir, or Ornithodoros ticks, for which rodents and other animals are reservoirs. Characteristics include alternating periods with and without fever and spirochetemia, each lasting for several days. During the febrile periods symptoms include chills, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, anorexia, cough, abdominal pain, and sometimes coagulation disturbance, hepatosplenomegaly, psychic disturbances, petechial rash, and vomiting; treatment may be complicated by severe Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. Both epidemiological forms of the disease are known by various descriptive and local names, including recurrent, or spirillum f.
