Summaries for Relapsing Fever

About this section
Disease Ontology : 12 A primary bacterial infectious disease that results in infection, has material basis in Borrelia, which is transmitted by tick or transmitted by body louse.

MalaCards based summary : Relapsing Fever is related to epidemic typhus and louse-borne relapsing fever, and has symptoms including recurrent fevers An important gene associated with Relapsing Fever is CFH (Complement Factor H), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Tuberculosis and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Susceptibility Pathways. The drugs Doxycycline and Antimalarials have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, kidney and liver, and related phenotypes are fever and thrombocytopenia
