Abstract

Case report of Mediterranean spotted fever in an 18 year old male heroin addict, caused by Rickettsia Conorii. The typical "tache noir" was absent. The patient developed meningoencephalitis within 5 days after onset of the systemic symptoms. Diagnosis was based on serological findings. Treatment with doxycycline led to rapid recovery without sequelae.
