Original: Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the most severe and most frequently reported rickettsial illness in the United States. It also occurs in Mexico and in Central and South America.

Initial signs and symptoms of the disease include sudden onset of fever, headache, and muscle pain, followed by development of rash.
