Relapsing fever and Unani Treatment
Relapsing fever is an infection transmitted by a louse or tick
. It is characterized by repeated episodes of fever.Relapsing fever, as the name implies, is characterized by recurrent acute episodes of fever. These are followed by periods of defervescence of increasing duration. It is a vector-borne infection that is spread by lice (Pediculus humanus) and ticks (Ornithodoros species). The infection is caused by various spirochete species of theBorrelia genus.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Relapsing fever is an infection caused by several species of bacteria in theBorrelia family.There are two major forms of relapsing fever:
Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is transmitted by theOrnithodoros tick and occurs in Africa, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Asia, and certain areas in the western United States and Canada. The bacteria species associated with TBRF areBorrelia duttoni,Borrelia hermsii, andBorrelia parkerii.
Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is transmitted by body liceand is most common in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. The bacteria species associated with LBRF isBorrelia recurrentis.
Sudden fever occurs within 2 weeks of infection. In LBRF, the fever usually lasts 3-6 days and is usually followed by a single, milder episode. In TRBF, multiple episodes of fever occur and each may last up to 3 days. Individuals may be free of fever for up to 2 weeks before it returns.
In both forms, the fever episode may end in "crisis." This consists of shaking chills, followed by intense sweating, falling body temperature, and low blood pressure. This stage may result in death in up to 10% of people.
