Rickettsiosis Smallpox

Rickettsia varioliformis (Rickettsia varioliformis) is a bacterial infection caused by a microorganism that belongs to the Rickettsiaceae family. This disease is also known as rickettsiosiform typhus because it shares some symptoms and characteristics with other forms of rickettsiosis.

Rickettsialpox is a zoonotic disease, meaning it can be transmitted from animals to humans. It is most common in regions where there are many wild rodents such as mice, rats, squirrels and others. Rickettsia pox can also be transmitted through the bites of ticks, which transmit the infection.

Clinical manifestations of rickettsiosis varicella may vary depending on the form of the disease. The most common form is the generalized form, which is characterized by high fever, headache, chills, weakness and general malaise. Skin rashes may also be present and may resemble smallpox, which gives this form of the disease its name.
