BACKGROUND: Rickettsias cause a wide spectrum of tick-, flea-, or mite-borne
infections. Rickettsial infections have no classical manifestations and can often
lead to encephalitis, which can be fatal if improperly diagnosed. CASE
PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old male farmer was admitted to the hospital with fevers
and a headache that had lasted for 10 days, followed by 4 days of
unconsciousness, and his condition continued to deteriorate. Images showed
multiple acute lesions in the brain stem, and bilateral cerebral and cerebellar
hemispheres. He was finally diagnosed with endemic typhus and treated with
antibiotics that resulted in improvement. CONCLUSION: The present report
describes a patient with a rickettsial infection and subsequent deterioration to
coma because of an initial misdiagnosis. Because of the similarity to other
infectious diseases, physicians should be more vigilant towards the history and
radiologic results to ensure early detection and avoid complications which may
prove to be fatal.
