Case Reports[Macrophage activation syndrome: rare complication of murine typhus].
Typhi is one of the rickettsial species endemic in the Mediterranean countries and is associated with the zoonotic infection of murine typhus, which may have a complicated course especially in adult patients. The association with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) has rarely been reported in the medical literature. ⋯ The murine typhus can be exceptionally complicated with SAM. This infection should be suspected in front of the discovery of SAM.
