Fatal Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis, Minas Gerais, Brazil

The emergence and reemergence of a serious infectious disease are often associated with a high case-fatality rate because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate or delayed treatment. The current reemergence of spotted fever rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia rickettsii in Brazil has resulted in a high proportion of fatal cases. We describe two familial clusters of Brazilian spotted fever in the stat...

THE AGE OF TISSINT: Sm-Nd & Rb-Sr ISOTOPE SYSTEMATICS OF A MARTIAN METEORITE FALL

Introduction: The recently acquired meteorite Tissint is the first recognized fall of a depleted shergottite. Other such shergottites were found in the hot deserts (e.g., NWA 1195, Dhofar 019, DAG 476) or in the Antarctic cold desert (e.g., QUE 94201, Y980459) and, in many cases, have disturbed isotopic systematics due to terrestrial contamination [1-4]. Tissint represents the freshest sample o...
