	CDC - Rickettsialpox in Turkey
		To the Editor: Rickettsialpox is often described as a chickenpox-like disease and is caused by Rickettsia akari, a spotted fever group Rickettsia that is transmitted to humans by the bite of mites (Liponyssoides sanguineus).
		In documented rickettsialpox cases, the presence of a papule that ulcerates and becomes a scar approximately 0.5–3.0 cm in diameter is reported (1–3).
		This case indicates that rickettsialpox is an emerging infectious disease in Turkey.

		Rickettsialpox is a relatively mild disease caused by a member of the bacterial family called Rickettsia.
		Most practitioners are able to diagnose rickettsialpox simply on the basis of its rising and falling fever, and its characteristic rash.
		Because rickettsialpox is such a mild illness, some practitioners choose to simply treat the symptoms (giving acetaminophen for fever and achiness, pushing fluids to avoid dehydration).

	CDC - Rickettsialpox in North Carolina: A Case Report
		Rickettsialpox is caused by infection with Rickettsia akari.
		This pattern of differential reduction in titers is confirmatory for a serologic diagnosis of rickettsialpox (9).
		Because cases of rickettsialpox may be confused with chickenpox or other viral exanthematous diseases, misdiagnosis may occur when sporadic cases occur in areas where the disease is unknown to local practitioners.

	Emerging Infectious Diseases: Rickettsialpox in Turkey - Letters - Letter to the Editor
		To the Editor: Rickettsialpox is often described as a chickenpox-like disease and is caused by Rickettsia akari, a spotted fever group Rickettsia that is transmitted to humans by the bite of mites (Liponyssoides sanguineus).
		In documented rickettsialpox cases, the presence of a papule that ulcerates and becomes a scar approximately 0.5-3.0 cm in diameter is reported (1-3).
		In summary, we present a case in which the presence of an eschar on the patient's penis, the failure of lesions to appear in crops, the sparsity of lesions, and mice on the family's farm led to a diagnosis of rickettsialpox, which was confirmed by cross-adsorption serologic findings.

		Humans will get rickettsialpox when receiving a bite from an infected mite, not from the mice themselves.

		In North America, we think of this most frequently with plants such as kudzu and dandelions, but many animals were also introduced.
		The most dangerous of these are the ubiquitous Rattus norvegicus (the urban gray rat) and Mus musculus (the domestic house mouse), which were introduced into the Americas from the Old World, bringing with them plague, rickettsialpox, Seoul virus and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
		Aedes aegypti, the mosquito vector of dengue and yellow fever, was also introduced into the Americas, carrying those viruses and making possible their spread across the entire Region.
