Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Rickettsia Infections:

1.	DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)IBA 01/01/2014 - "To evaluate the possible circulation of Rickettsia spp. in Comorian cattle, genomic DNA was extracted from 512 ticks collected either in the Union of the Comoros or from animals imported from Tanzania and subsequently tested for Rickettsia infection by quantitative PCR. " 03/15/2007 - "Tick DNA samples from cattle in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Area, China, were examined for Rickettsia infection by citrate synthase gene-based PCR and sequencing. " 12/01/2005 - "DNA from ticks recovered from 1137 dogs and 133 cats from all over Japan were examined for Rickettsia infection by citrate synthase gene (gltA)-based PCR and partial nucleotide sequencing. " 12/01/2012 - "The authors suggest that paraffin blocks of Buerger's disease biopsies be investigated for Rickettsia infection, focusing specifically on the area of endothelial cell proliferation for DNA extraction. "
2.	Citrate (si)-Synthase (Synthase, Citrate)IBA 03/15/2007 - "Tick DNA samples from cattle in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Area, China, were examined for Rickettsia infection by citrate synthase gene-based PCR and sequencing. " 12/01/2005 - "DNA from ticks recovered from 1137 dogs and 133 cats from all over Japan were examined for Rickettsia infection by citrate synthase gene (gltA)-based PCR and partial nucleotide sequencing. "
3.	Azithromycin (Zithromax)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/1997 - "All of the macrolide agents tested were readily active against all three Bartonella organisms, and azithromycin, clarithromycin, and roxithromycin may have potential in the treatment of Rickettsia infections. "
4.	Clarithromycin (Biaxin)FDA LinkGeneric 03/01/1997 - "All of the macrolide agents tested were readily active against all three Bartonella organisms, and azithromycin, clarithromycin, and roxithromycin may have potential in the treatment of Rickettsia infections. "
5.	Antiphospholipid AntibodiesIBA 11/01/1989 - "[Antiphospholipid antibodies and rickettsia infections]."
6.	RoxithromycinIBA 03/01/1997 - "All of the macrolide agents tested were readily active against all three Bartonella organisms, and azithromycin, clarithromycin, and roxithromycin may have potential in the treatment of Rickettsia infections. "
7.	Rifampin (Rifampicin)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/1991 - "[Optimal combined use of rifampicin and immunomodulator of microbial origin in experimental Q-Rickettsia infection]."
8.	ParaffinIBA 12/01/2012 - "The authors suggest that paraffin blocks of Buerger's disease biopsies be investigated for Rickettsia infection, focusing specifically on the area of endothelial cell proliferation for DNA extraction. "
9.	Immunoglobulins (Immunoglobulin)IBA 01/01/1993 - "In three patients the character of distribution of immunoglobulins of different classes corresponded to the chronic course of rickettsia infection. "
10.	Erythromycin (Erycette)FDA LinkGeneric 08/01/1978 - "Dibiomycin, biomycin, and biomycin in combination with erythromycin (antibiotics with a wide range of action) used once or in interrupted courses produced a distinct prophylactic effect in experimental rickettsia infection in guinea pigs. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Intradermal Injections 09/01/2009 - "Therefore, the intradermal injection of Rickettsia in guinea pigs appears to be a relevant model for the prediction of the development of escharotic lesions following Rickettsia infection in humans. "
