About
The purpose of this surveillance (non-interventional) clinical study is to genotype the causative agents of rickettsiosis in biological samples of patients from the Altai Republic, Russian Federation. This is a solely observational study in the patients with diagnosed or suspected tick-borne rickettsioses, with no intervention to the routine treatment and diagnostic process. During the study the medical history, diseases progress and symptoms, as well as treatments are being registered in individual case report forms. The rests of the samples used for standard diagnostics (plasma, or serum, and/or swabs of the tick bite site) are being collected and afterwards will be analyzed for a new rickettsia type. These data will be compared to the medical history and symptoms of the patients in order to identify clinical pattern specific for the new rickettsia type. Informed consents from all patients or their legal representatives are being collecting. The study was approved by the local ethical committee.
