Resumo: | Rocky Mountain spotted fever is an uncommon febrile illness and was first characterized in North America around the end of the 19th century. This disease is caused by the bite of the star tick, of the species Amblyomma cajennense, infected with the gram-negative bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii. This vector, the tick belongs to the Ixodidae family, are hematophagous, preferring wild animals, especially horses and rodents, such as capybaras. The incidence of spotted fever is greatest during the winter season and the first days of spring. Therefore, residents of areas closer to forests and gardens with the presence of animals possibly carrying ticks should be careful not to become infected with spotted fever. For contagion by this bacteria, long-term contact between the tick and man is necessary. This disease progresses with various signs and symptoms that can appear within 2 days to 2 weeks after the bite of a tick infected with Rickettsia. Treatment must be started within 5 days after the onset of symptoms and is carried out through antibiotic therapy, in order to avoid more serious complications that could arise without starting treatment. This study is an integrative review of spotted fever, aiming to characterize the disease and its aspects on epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. |

Esta enfermedad es causada por la picadura de la garrapata estrella, de la especie Amblyomma cajennense, infectada con la bacteria gramnegativa Rickettsia rickettsii. Este vector, la garrapata pertenece a la familia Ixodidae, son artrópodos hematófagos, prefiriendo animales salvajes, especialmente caballos y roedores, como los capibaras. La incidencia de la fiebre maculosa es más alta durante la temporada de invierno y los primeros días de la primavera. Por lo tanto, los residentes de áreas más cercanas a bosques y jardines con presencia de animales posiblemente portadores de garrapatas deben tener cuidado de no infectarse con fiebre maculosa. Para el contagio de esta bacteria, es necesario un contacto prolongado entre la garrapata y el hombre. Esta enfermedad progresa con varios signos y síntomas que pueden aparecer entre 2 días y 2 semanas después de la picadura de una garrapata infectada con Rickettsia. El tratamiento debe iniciarse dentro de los 5 días posteriores al inicio de los síntomas y se realiza mediante antibioterapia, con el fin de evitar complicaciones más graves que pudieran surgir sin iniciar el tratamiento. Este estudio es una revisión integradora de la fiebre manchada, con el objetivo de caracterizar la enfermedad y sus aspectos sobre epidemiología, diagnóstico y tratamiento.A febre maculosa é uma doença febril incomum e foi caracterizada pela primeira vez na América do Norte, por volta do final do século XIX. Essa doença é causada pela picada do carrapato-estrela, da espécie Amblyomma cajennense, infectado com a bactéria gram-negativa Rickettsia rickettsii. Esse vetor, o carrapato pertence à família Ixodidae, são artrópodes hematófagos, tendo preferência por animais silvestres, em especial equinos e roedores, como as capivaras. A incidência da febre maculosa é maior durante a estação de inverno e nos primeiros dias da primavera. Portanto, moradores de áreas mais próximas as matas e jardins com presença de animais possivelmente portadores de carrapato devem tomar cuidado para não se contaminarem com a febre maculosa. Para que o contágio por essa bactéria é necessário ocorrer o contato de longa duração entre o carrapato e o homem. Essa doença cursa com vários sinais e sintomas que podem aparecer em um intervalo de 2 dias até 2 semanas depois da picada do carrapato infectado com Rickettsia. O tratamento deve ser iniciado em até 5 dias após o surgimento dos sintomas e é realizado através de antibioticoterapia, com o intuito de evitar complicações mais graves que poderiam surgir sem o início do tratamento. O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa sobre a febre maculosa, com objetivo de caracterizar a doença e seus aspectos sobre a epidemiologia, diagnóstico e tratamento.Research, Society and Development2021-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2371010.33448/rsd-v10i16.23710Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 16; e447101623710Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 16; e447101623710Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 16; e4471016237102525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/23710/21085Copyright (c) 2021 Juan Domingos Muchon; Giullia Vitória Forte; Luciana Dorneles Siqueira; Jalsi Tacon Arruda ; Raquel Loren dos Reis Paludohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMuchon, Juan DomingosForte, Giullia Vitória Siqueira, Luciana Dorneles Arruda , Jalsi Tacon Paludo, Raquel Loren dos Reis 2021-12-20T11:03:07Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23710Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:42:29.726957Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
