| typhus mitior | A mild or abortive typhus. Murine typhus, a milder form of epidemic typhus caused by Rickettsia typhi and transmitted to humans by rat or mouse fleas. Synonym: Congolian red fever, endemic typhus, flea-borne typhus, red fever, red fever of the Congo. North Queensland tick typhus, typhus caused by Rickettsia australis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| typhus, murine | 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, and urban typhus of malaya. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, queensland tick | One of the tick-borne rickettsial diseases of the eastern hemisphere, similar to rocky mountain spotted fever, but less severe, with fever, a small ulcer (eschar) at the site of the tick bite, swollen glands nearby (satellite lymphadenopathy), and a red raised (maculopapular) rash. (12 Dec 1998) |

| typhus, scrub | A mite-borne infectious disease caused by a microorganism, rickettsia tsutsugamushi, characteristically with fever, headache, a raised (macular) rash, swollen glands (lymphadenopathy) and a dark crusted ulcer (called an eschar or tache noire) at the site of the chigger (mite larva) bite. This disease occurs in the area bounded by japan, india, and Australia. Known also as tsutsugamushi disease, mite-borne typhus, and tropical typhus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, tick | Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), an acute febrile (feverish) disease initially recognised in the rocky mountain states, caused by rickettsia rickettsii transmitted by hard-shelled (ixodid) ticks. Occurs only in the western hemisphere. Anyone frequenting tick-infested areas is at risk for rmsf. Onset of symptoms is abrupt with headache, high fever, chills, muscle pain. And then a rash.the rickettsiae grow within damaged cells lining blood vessels which may become blocked by clots. Blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) is widespread early recognition of rmsf and prompt antibiotic treatment is important in reducing mortality. Also called spotted fever and tick fever. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus vaccine | A formaldehyde-inactivated suspension of Rickettsia prowazekii grown in embryonated eggs; effective against louse-borne (epidemic) typhus; primary immunization consists of two subcutaneous injections 4 or more weeks apart; booster doses are required every 6 to 12 months, as long as the possibility of exposure exists. A vaccine containing living rickettsiae of an attenuated strain of R. Prowazekii has also been used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urban typhus | A mild form of typhus occurring in urban areas, reported in Mediterranean areas. Synonym: urban typhus. Siberian tick typhus, tick-borne rickettsiosis caused by infection with Rickettsia sibirica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urban typhus of malayia | Murine typhus, 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, andrat-flea typhus. (12 Dec 1998) |
