Reading time: 1 min

Rickettsiosis are generally harmless diseases that leave no after-effects. In a small percentage of cases, there may be complications in the form of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels) and multiple organ failure.

A delay in diagnosis and the start of suitable treatment may also make complications more likely to arise.
