Fiebre Manchada por Rickettsia Rickettsii

Abstract

Las Rickettsias son entidades clínicas emergentes y reemergentes del tipo zoonótico, de la famillia Rickettsiaceae, son un género de bacterias intracelulares obligadas transmitidas por diferentes vectores artrópodos hematófagos como garrapatas, pulgas, piojos y ácaros. Estos vectores condicionan el establecimiento y la epidemiología de la enfermedad en diferentes regiones del mundo. En la actualidad se reconocen aproximadamente 25 especies del género Rickettsia. 1. La más virulenta de estas enfermedades febriles se conoce como la "Fiebre Manchada de las Montañas Rocosas" (FMMR) causada por la bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii (R. rickettsii) 2. Con tasas de letalidad documentadas entre 23 y 85% en la era preantibiótica y del 5% con un tratamiento adecuado 3. Los estudios realizados por Howard Ricketts en 1906, en curíes y cobayos, demostraron que la FMMR era transmitida a través de sangre infectada por una bacteria y que el vector eran las garrapatas 4. Se decidió realizar esta revisión con la intención de realizar una descripción general sobre el tema, y brindar información básica y actualizada sobre todo de R. rickettsii que es el agente causal descripto en nuestra región como causante de enfermedad rápidamente letal cuando no media un tratamiento oportuno y adecuado.
