Rat-Bite Fever, Sodo/Cosis

Rat-Bite Fever, also known as Sodo/Cosis, is a disease caused by a rat bite. The reason is the entry into the human body of bacteria of the species Spirillum minus or fungi Streptobacillus moniliformis.

Spirillum minus causes skin ulceration and relapsing fever. Symptoms include fever, chills, headache, vomiting and rash. Streptobacillus moniliformis leads to skin inflammation, muscle pain and vomiting.

Antibiotics, particularly penicillin, are used to treat Rat Bite Fever. Treatment must be started as early as possible to prevent the development of dangerous complications such as endocarditis, meningitis or sepsis.

Thus, Rat Bite Fever is a potentially dangerous disease transmitted through rat bites and requiring timely treatment with antibiotics.



Rat Bite Fever, also known as Sodocosis, is a disease that occurs after a rat bite when the bacteria Spirillum minus enters the body, causing skin ulceration and relapsing fever, or the fungus Streptobacillus moniliformis, which causes skin inflammation, muscle pain and vomiting.

This infectious disease is transmitted through the bites of rats, mice and other rodents. Symptoms usually appear 3-10 days after the bite and include fever, chills, headaches, vomiting, and muscle and joint pain. A characteristic symptom is relapsing fever, when episodes of high fever alternate with periods of normal temperature.

If the disease is not treated, complications in the heart, brain, kidneys and other organs may develop. To effectively treat Rat Bite Fever, antibiotics are used, most often penicillin. If you consult a doctor in a timely manner and prescribe the correct treatment, the prognosis for patients is favorable.

Prevention of the disease consists of following the rules of personal hygiene, protection from rodent bites, as well as timely treatment of bite wounds.



Rat Bite Fever and Sodocosis (also known as Sodo/Kosis) are infectious diseases that can cause serious consequences to human health. They are caused by the bite of an infected rat or contact with its blood. These diseases can affect the skin, muscles, lungs and heart, which can lead to death.

Rat bite fever is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Spirillum minor (or E. coli) or Ratteviirus species (virus). The infection affects not only the skin and muscle tissue, but also provokes inflammation of various organs and tissues of the body, as well as damage to the nervous system.

The main symptoms of rat bite fever are high temperature, fever, chills, weakness, headaches, joint and muscle pain, sweating, vomiting. A skin rash and impaired consciousness may also occur. If the disease is not treated on time, it can cause serious illness and even death.

Treatment of rat fever includes the use of antibiotics (penicillins) and symptomatic therapy. It is also important to ensure bed rest and plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. It is important to remember that if symptoms of the disease appear, you should immediately consult a doctor for advice and treatment.

Sodocosis is an infection caused by exposure to the microorganism Streptobacillus monoferiformis. It can also be caused by other microorganisms such as Deltaflagellar bacteria and others. The main symptom of infection is high fever. Other symptoms include fatigue, bone pain, skin rash, conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eyes), diarrhea and nausea (vomiting). Symptoms of the disease usually appear a few days after infection. Treatment includes antibiotics. Symptoms usually go away within a few weeks,
