Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a potentially lethal, but curable tick-borne disease, which was first described in Idaho in the 19 th century. In 1906, Howard Ricketts demonstrated that RMSF was an infectious disease transmitted by ticks [ 1 ]. The clinical spectrum of human infection ranges from mild to fulminant disease [ 2 ].
RMSF is most often transmitted by the American dog tick in the Eastern, Central and Western United States; by the Rocky Mountain wood tick in the Rocky Mountain states; and by the brown dog tick in the Southwestern United States, along the U.S.-Mexico border. RMSF can be rapidly fatal if not treated within the first 5 days of symptoms.
