Trench Fever Symptoms
Trench fever is an illness caused by B. quintana, a Bartonella species. Symptoms include headache and fever, and it may also cause a rash. The fever may be present in the initial stages of the disease, or it may be persistent and arise periodically.
Bone pain, mostly in the shins, back and neck, may occur with trench fever because bone marrow is rich with red blood cells, and infection in the marrow causes pressure and discomfort.3’Bartonella Infection in Cat Scratch Disease, Trench Fever, and Carrion’s Disease.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.cdc.gov/bartonella/symptoms/index.html Chills, weakness, and dizziness can also develop.
