Résumé
The challenges to establish the diagnosis of a specific rickettsial disease, to develop a clinical or scientific research program that relies upon effective laboratory methods, and to promulgate awareness and knowledge of rickettsial diseases among primary care physicians and public health agencies are substantial. Achieving these goals is our mission. This minireview delineates the challenges and proposes some approaches to surmount them.
