Rickettsial Diseases or I’d rather die of one than learn them all ID/Med Micro Half Day November 9, 2016 Isaac I. Bogoch, MD, MS, FRCPC, DTM&H Divisions of Infectious Diseases and General Internal Medicine Toronto General Hospital
What ID topics do ID docs know the least about? § § Rickettsial diseases Atypical mycobacterial infections Some topics in Trop Med What else?
“Doxycycline deficient state” “Never let a febrile patient die without a trial of doxycycline” Not entirely helpful, not really clinically useful, kind of clinically lazy, but you get the point
Roadmap § Microbiology and Pathogenesis § An approach to these Rickettsial infections § Clinical and epidemiology of select Rickettsial infections § Diagnosis § Treatment § Prevention
Microbiology and Pathogenesis § § § Historically defined by their phenotype Very small Obligate intracellular Gram negative Non-motile Non-spore forming
Microbiology and Pathogenesis § Pleomorphic – can be many shapes § 0. 1 – 10 microns long § Cocci § Bacilli § Threadlike
Microbiology and Pathogenesis § Tropism for vascular endothelial cells § Infection may increase vascular permeability § Responsible for the rash that is common in many infections § Can lead to DIC § Rare but occurs in severe Rickettsial infections
(Very) Brief History § § § Howard Taylor Ricketts 1871 – 1910 Discovered RMSF transmitted by ticks Prone to self-experimentation 1910 he isolated a strain of Murine typhus from an outbreak in Mexico – then died of the disease
Differential diagnosis § Fever, Rash, Headache, Myalgia § Bacterial meningitis § § § § Or disseminated Neisseria Leptospirosis Measles Dengue West Nile Virus – encephalitis Acute HIV Acute mononucleosis-like syndrome Occasionally influenza § Eschar § § § Bites – spider Trauma Cutaneous anthrax Tularemia Fungal – endemic mycosis § Non-infectious thoughts for systemic symptoms § § TTP Drug hypersensitivity – especially as rash is on day 3 -5
An approach to Rickettsial infections
An Approach § Illnesses in the Rickettsial genus from 3 major “biogroups” § Remember that this is constantly growing and getting re-defined § There additional “Rickettsial-like” infections that are phylogenically related and may have similar clinical presentations
Rickettsial illnesses Spotted Fever biogroup Typhus biogroup Scrub typhus biogroup Many diseases Epidemic typhus R. prowazekii Orientia tsutsugamushi RMSF R. rickettsii Other related illnesses Bartonella spp. Anaplasma Murine typhus R. typhi Ehrlichia Q fever
Terminology § Typhus § Greek for hazy or smoky § Describes mental status associated with infection § Typhoid § Greek for “typhus-like”
Rickettsial illnesses Spotted Fever biogroup Many diseases RMSF R. rickettsii Moraine Lake, Alberta
Spotted Fever Biogroup § § Many pathogens Exist worldwide except Antarctica Each has a unique ecology All are arthropod borne § Most are tick borne with only a couple of exceptions § Overlapping but not identical syndromes! § We will discuss the big ones
Spotted Fever Biogroup § Most will cause some combination of § § § Fever Headache Myalgia Some will have one or more eschar Many will have a rash Illness may be mild to life-threatening
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § R. rickettsii § Found in: Canada, USA, Mexico, Central-South America § Other names § § Brazilian spotted fever Febre maculosa São Paulo exanthematic typhus Minas Gerais exanthematic typhus
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § Transmitted by multiple tick species § Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick - USA) § Dermacentor andersoni (Rocky Mountain wood tick USA) § Amblyomma cajennense (Central-South America) § Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Mexico)
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § Most do not recall tick bite § Tick needs to be attached for >6 hours for transmission § Symptoms occur after 2 -14 day incubation period § Poor outcomes with antibiotic delay § “Failure to consider” diagnosis a problem
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § Fever, headache, myalgia – common § Rash in ~90% § Starts day 3 -5, so may develop when already in medical care § Blanching erythematous rash § Macules turn to petichial, or may just start petichial § Begins at extremities and moves toward trunk § Commonly affects palms and soles in late disease
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever CDC Redbook - American Academy of Pediatrics
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § Petichiae may be pruritic § Petichiae may form ecchymoses – bleeding into the skin § Eschars at the site of tick bite very rare § ~10% of cases do not have rash § Poor outcome as RMSF not considered
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § Complications § § § Encephalitis Seizures Multisystem organ failure Arrhythmias ARDS DIC
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § § Thrombocytopenia Hyponatremia Elevated LFTs CSF <100 wbc’s § Lymphocytic predominance § Confirmation § § § Serology - retrospective Staining of skin biopsy via immunofluorescence Cannot be cultured § Bacterial meningitis § § § § § Or disseminated Neisseria Leptospirosis Measles Dengue West Nile Virus – encephalitis Acute HIV Acute mononucleosis-like syndrome Ehrlichiosis/Anaplasmosis TTP Drug hypersensitivity – especially as rash is on day 3 -5
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § “Doxycycline is the first line treatment for adults and children of all ages and should be initiated immediately whenever RMSF is suspected” CDC, 2016
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever “Use of antibiotics other than doxycycline is associated with a higher risk of fatal outcome. Treatment is most effective at preventing death if doxycycline is started in the first 5 days of symptoms. Therefore, treatment must be based on clinical suspicion alone and should always begin before laboratory results return or symptoms of severe disease, such as petechiae, develop” CDC, 2016
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever § Chloramphenicol is the only alternative agent for RMSF § Very difficult to obtain in N. America on short notice § Severe allergy to doxycycline § May use in some pregnant women? § Associated with Gray Syndrome in fetus – accumulation of toxic metabolites: ashen colour, cardio-respiratory collapse § Fatal aplastic anemia in 1: 25000 - 1: 40000 § may occur days to months after use

CDC, 2016
Human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis § Wide spectrum of disease § Asymptomatic to severely ill § § 5 -18 day incubation period Most with fever, myalgia, headache Rash is rare Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia is common
Human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis § Diagnosis is with serology and PCR § PCR not standardized, but common and validated in many high-burden areas § Serology may not distinguish between E. chaffeensis and A. phagocytophilum § Remember to screen for Lyme and Babesia coinfection § Blood film or PCR for Babesia, serology for Lyme
Human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis § Treatment is: § Doxycycline § Chloramphenicol § Rifampin alone has been used successfully § May be used in less severe cases – pregnancy, children <45 kg § 2 -10% mortality if untreated § Likely no lifelong immunity
