| Description |
Relapsing fever is characterized by two or more episodes of high fever and constitutional symptoms, interrupted by periods in which patients are asymptomatic. During the febrile periods, numerous spirochetes circulate in the blood causing fever, headache, tachycardia, myalgia, and abdominal pain. There is no skin rash in this disease, as there is in Lyme disease, and between fevers, spirochetemia is not observed. Fevers recur because during spirochetemia, there is antigenic variation in the bacteria. |
