Spotted fever is a severe and emergent zoonosis caused by Rickettsia and transmitted by ticks, it can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated in the begging of clinical symptoms. The following report is the description of a case of a pediatric patient residing in a rural area in the countryside of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, with spotted fever presenting unfavorable evolution. The diagnosis was confirmed by the indirect immunofluorescence test after death. Considering the high lethality and prevalence of the disease in the southeastern and southern regions of Brazil, this differential diagnosis should be considered in the presence of symptomatology and epidemiology suggestive of this disease, in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the affected population.

ABSTRACT Objective. It was determined the presence of antibodies against Rickettsia sp. of the spotted fever group, in horses of 8 municipalities of the Colombian Orinoquia. Matherials and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 246 sera from apparently healthy horses and processed by the indirect immunofluorescence test (IFI). Results. General seropositivity was (2.85%; 7/246), while by municipalities the results were, Arauca (9.1%; 2/22), Saravena (5.6%; 1/18), San José del Guaviare (4.9%; 2/41), San Martín (3.8%; 1/26), Yopal (1.9%; 1/52). It was not identified the presence of antibodies in Puerto López (0/52), Puerto Gaitán (0/15) and Villavicencio (0/20). Four of the positive samples presented titles of 1:64, while the remaining 3 1:128. Conclusions. It shows the circulation of Rickettsia sp. of the Spotted Fever Group in horses in the region of the Colombian Orinoquia, suggesting the need for further studies to understand the ecoepidemiology of municipalities with presence of seropositive.

Positive Results

Cerebrospinal fluid from 53 patients with clinical evidence of neurocysticercosis and 11 who suffered from several diseases were studied to evaluate the behaviour of indirect immunofluorescence test and some parameters of routine analysis. In neurocysticercosis there were pleocitosis in 88.7% of cases, eosinophilorrachia in 60.3%o, hyperproteinorrachia in 71.7% and hypoglucorrachia in 13.2%. The indirect immunofluorescence test was positive in 19.2% of cases but false-positive results were found when the samples showed xanthochromia or erythrocyte contamination. The authors discuss their results in comparison with those in literature and conclude that the immunofluorescent test is sensitive and useful in diagnosis of neurocysticercosis, except when the interferents previously mentioned are present.
