Overview

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever infection may be classified based on the organism causing the disease. The bacterial family of Rickettsiaceae hosts the genus rickettsia, a genus of organisms responsible for thyphus fevers. The rickettsia organism causing infection dictates the choice of antimicrobial therapy. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is caused by R. rickettsii.

Classification

Shown below is a table that classifies C. difficile infection based on clinical features and lab findings. The severity of the infection dictates the choice of antimicrobial therapy.
