Brill-Zinsser Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Brill-Zinsser disease is a reappearance of typhus symptoms in people who had the infection years earlier, when the responsible bacteria becomes active again.
How does it present? It usually presents with fever, headache and general malaise, usually in a milder form than the original episode.
When is it worth reviewing? Fever and malaise with no apparent cause, especially in those with a history of typhus, warrant an evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The internist is the one who usually studies this condition and relates it to the person's previous history. Faced with symptoms that reappear without a clear explanation, the most sensible thing is to consult it with a professional who reviews your case in detail.
