Facial nerve palsy associated with Rickettsia conorii infection.

M Bitsori1, E Galanakis, C E Papadakis, S Sbyrakis.   

Abstract

Facial nerve palsy has been occasionally attributed to infectious agents, but Rickettsiae species have not been documented as causative agents. We report two adolescent girls with facial nerve palsy and serological evidence of R conorii infection. These cases indicate that rickettsioses should be included among the causes of facial nerve palsy, particularly in endemic areas.
