Abstract
Forty-two children who had Rocky Mountain spotted fever were seen for neurologic and psychologic examination at follow-up. The presence of sequelae was more common in children with severely impaired states of consciousness. Behavioral disturbances and learning disabilities were the most common problems. Seizures, although a common occurrence during acute disease, did not occur as sequelae to Rocky Mountain spotted fever.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
