ABSTRACT

Two clinical cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in children with different clinical course are presented. One patient had a satisfactory evolution, since the specific treatment was initiated within the first five days of initiating the symptoms; while the other patient had a fatal outcome, with necrosis and gangrene in lower extremities. In both cases, diagnosis was confirmed by skin biopsy using the technique of Pinkerton.
