pseudotyphus of California
MONDO:0019364
Pseudotyphus of California is a rare, flea-borne Rickettsial disease caused by a Rickettsia felis infection. Patients can be asymptomatic or can present with unspecific symptoms (such as fever, headache, generalized maculopapular rash, myalgia, arthralgia and, occasionally, eschar. lymphadenopathy, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and abdominal pain. Rarely, serious manifestations may occur and include neurological dysfunction (photophobia, hearing loss, and signs of meningitis) and pulmonary compromise.
Disease research snapshot
No clinical trials have been linked to this exact normalized concept in the current published dataset. This is a coverage limitation, not evidence that the condition or medicine has never been studied. Try a synonym or browse registry-reported labels.
Numbers are derived from CureCurrent's current ClinicalTrials.gov projection and conservative MONDO/RxNorm mappings. See sources, counting rules and limitations and verify eligibility or clinical findings with the original study record.

How to interpret this record
CureCurrent links normalized diseases, medicines, registry study labels, sponsors and research sites. A link is not the same as a finding of clinical effectiveness. Our research guides explain how to compare studies, decode RxNorm identities, and avoid over-interpreting site and trial counts. See the published database coverage for mapping completeness.
