Abstract in Portuguese
Febre Maculosa Brasileira (FMB), doença causada por riquétsias do grupo da febre maculosa (RGFM) transmitidas por Amblyomma cajennense, é geralmente fatal quando não tratada precocemente. Métodos laboratoriais usuais (cultura em células Vero e RIFI) não permitem diagnósticos conclusivos da maioria dos casos verificados no Estado de São Paulo, onde o agente ainda não está devidamente caracterizado. Através da PCR e Southern blotting, foram pesquisados genes riquetsiais (gltA, ompA e ompB), em 20 amostras de coágulos sanguíneos humanos sintomáticos (São Paulo), 19 com resultados prévios negativos por métodos convencionais. Cerca de 95% dos pacientes foram positivos pela PCR. A seqüência de bases do gene ompB, a amostra 3, apresentou similaridade de 98% com Rickettsia ricketsii. Dos 75 lotes de A. cajennense (n=1483), coletados na mesma região endêmica, 09 resultaram positivos em células Vero e, em 22 detectou-se o gene ompA (RGFM). Sequenciamento e análise das amostras amplificadas poderão contribuir para o completo esclarecimento do ciclo das riquétsias na região.

Abstract in English
Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), a disease caused by spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR) transmitted by Amblyomma cajennense, is generally fatal when not early treated. Common laboratory methods (Vero cell culture and immunofluorescence indirect assay) are not efficient on the diagnosis in most of the cases observed in State of São Paulo, where the agent is not well characterized yet. By means of PCR and Southern Blotting rickettsial genes (gltA, ompB and ompA) were searched in samples of coagulum sanguineous from 20 presenting symptom patients (São Paulo), from these, 19 of them have presented negative results by conventional methods. About 95% of the patients were positive and the ompB base pair sequences amplified showed 98% of similarity with Rickettsia ricketsii. From the 75 lots of A. cajennense (n=1483), collected at the same endemic region, 9 were positive in Vero cell cultures and in 22 it was possible to detect the ompA gene (SFGR). Sequencing and analysis of the amplified samples can contribute to the complete understanding of the rickettsiae biological cycle.
