Abstract
Our study demonstrates that R. africae is the most frequent rickettsia observed in Italian travellers. Prior to receiving the laboratory results, physicians should start empirical treatment on the basis of epidemiologic data (e.g., travel history to Africa), and clinical findings compatible with rickettsioses (e.g., eschars).
