Dr. Ruth Seaman answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Shortness of breath: Acute rmsf (spotted fever group) can lead to inflammation of the small blood vessels in just about any organ system. It is readily treated with doxy if given within the first 5 days of symptoms. Cdc has excellent webpage on this as well.
