Popis:	Rickettsial diseases continue to be the cause of serious health problems in Italy. From 1998 to 2002, 4,604 clinical cases were reported, with 33 deaths in the period from 1998 to 2001. Almost all the cases reported in Italy are cases of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF). Other rickettsioses that have been historically documented are murine typhus and epidemic typhus. Since 1950, only sporadic cases of murine typhus have been reported, and Italy currently appears to be free of epidemic typhus. As in other European countries, imported cases of rickettsialpox, African tick-bite fever (ATBF), and scrub typhus have been reported. In 2004, three cases of a mild form of rickettsiosis were serologically attributed to Rickettsia helvetica.
