* Before 2010 data, cases of spotted fever rickettsiosis were reported as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). Because serologic tests commonly used to diagnose RMSF are cross-reactive with spotted fever
rickettsial pathogens, some cases reported as RMSF may be disease caused by other spotted fever rickettsial infections. For that reason, since 2010, the term spotted fever rickettsiosis is used. Data include
confirmed and probable cases.
