Drugs and Biologics

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

1.	Oxytetracycline (Terramycin)FDA Link 09/01/1950 - "The experimental and clinical evaluation of terramycin against Rickettsia akari (rickettsialpox)." 05/01/1980 - "The rickettsialpox infection was terminated in euthymic mice with only two intraperitoneal injections of the antibiotic oxytetracycline, whereas prolonged treatment was necessary to terminate the infection in athymic mice. "
2.	AntigensIBA 10/01/1988 - "Monoclonal antibodies were produced from mice infected with Rickettsia akari (the etiologic agent of rickettsialpox) and evaluated for specificity in indirect fluorescent-antibody tests with 23 different rickettsial antigens. " 01/01/1956 - "Investigating viral and rickettsial infections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the authors submitted 115 sera of healthy persons to complement-fixation tests with typhus, Q fever, mumps, rickettsialpox, and psittacosis antigens. "
3.	FluoroquinolonesIBA 05/01/1988 - "[Rickettsiaceae infections and fluoroquinolones]."
4.	ParaffinIBA 12/01/2003 - "To apply an immunohistochemical technique on paraffin-embedded skin biopsy specimens for diagnosing rickettsialpox, and to compare the reported incidence of rickettsialpox before, during, and after the cluster of cutaneous anthrax cases. "
5.	Immunoglobulin G (IgG)IBA 12/01/2003 - "A 4-fold or greater increase in IgG antibody titers reactive with Rickettsia akari was observed in all 9 patients for whom acute and convalescent phase samples were available; 6 patients had single titers indicative of rickettsialpox infection (> or =1:64). "
6.	Complement System Proteins (Complement)IBA 01/01/1956 - "Investigating viral and rickettsial infections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the authors submitted 115 sera of healthy persons to complement-fixation tests with typhus, Q fever, mumps, rickettsialpox, and psittacosis antigens. "
7.	Chlortetracycline (Aureomycin)FDA Link 09/01/1950 - "Treatment of rickettsialpox with aureomycin."

9.	Monoclonal AntibodiesIBA 10/01/1988 - "Monoclonal antibodies were produced from mice infected with Rickettsia akari (the etiologic agent of rickettsialpox) and evaluated for specificity in indirect fluorescent-antibody tests with 23 different rickettsial antigens. "
10.	AntibodiesIBA 12/01/2007 - "We detected antibodies reactive with Rickettsia akari, the etiologic agent of rickettsialpox in humans and in 83 of 359 (23%) rodents belonging to several species, collected in Orange County, CA. Reciprocal antibody titers >1:16 to R. "
