Coinfection with "Rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolotimonae" and Rickettsia conorii in a Human Patient: a Challenge for Molecular Diagnosis Tools

Rickettsioses are zoonoses transmitted by vectors. More than one agent can coexist in vectors. Although vectors may transmit more than one microorganism to humans, information on dual infections is scarce. We present a case of a patient with an atypical rickettsiosis diagnosis in whom two species of...

More Information
Summary:Rickettsioses are zoonoses transmitted by vectors. More than one agent can coexist in vectors. Although vectors may transmit more than one microorganism to humans, information on dual infections is scarce. We present a case of a patient with an atypical rickettsiosis diagnosis in whom two species of Rickettsia were detected.
