Louse-borne relapsing fever-a systematic review and analysis of the literature: part 2-mortality, jarisch-herxheimer reaction, impact on pregnancy (Publications)
fever (LBRF) is a classical epidemic disease, which in the past was associated with war, famine, poverty, forced migration, and crowding under poor hygienic conditions around the world. The disease's causative [...] to judge the certainty of the diagnosis of reported cases. The high mortality rates often found in literature are confined to extreme scenarios. The case fatality rate (CFR) of untreated cases is on average [...] causative pathogen, the spirochete bacterium Borrelia recurrentis,...
