Symptoms of Carrion's Disease Phase I
B. bacilliformis bacteria cause Carrion's disease, and it typically includes two phases with different symptoms. It's a rare disease predominantly found in South America and transmitted by sandfly bites.
Phase I causes Oroya fever, in which a person experiences fever and headache along with muscle aches and abdominal pain. Severe anemia and a lowered ability to fight off infections of any kind may result from the bacteria attacking red and white blood cells.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
