Symptoms of this disease typically begin within 2 weeks of contact with the causative organism. Signs/Symptoms may include: * Fever * Chills * Headache * Confusion * Cough * Rapid Breathing * Body/Muscle Aches * Rash * Nausea * Vomiting After 5-6 days, a macular skin eruption develops: first on the upper trunk and spreading to the rest of the body (rarely to the face, palms, or soles of the feet, however). Brill–Zinsser disease, first described by Nathan Brill in 1913 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, is a mild form of<unk>  that recurs in someone after a long period of latency (similar to the relationship between chickenpox and shingles). This recurrence often arises in times of relative immunosuppression, which is often in the context of a person suffering malnutrition and/or other illnesses. In combination with poor sanitation and hygiene in times of social chaos and upheaval, which enable a greater density of lice, this reactivation is why typhus generates<unk> s in such conditions. Complications Complications are as follows * Myocarditis * Endocarditis * Mycotic aneurysm * Pneumonia * Pancreatitis * Kidney or bladder infections * Acute renal failure * Meningitis * Encephalitis * Myelitis * Septic shock
