AB  - Relapsing  fever  is  caused  by  infection  with  any  of  several  species  of  Borrelia  spirochetes.  Physicians  in  ancient  Greece  distinguished  relapsing  fever  from  other  febrile  disorders  by  its  characteristic  clinical  presentation:  two  or  more  episodes  of  fever  separated  by  varying  periods  of  well-being.  In  the  nineteenth  century,  relapsing  fever  was  one  of  the  first  diseases  to  be  associated  with  a  specific  microbe  by  virtue  of  its  characteristic  laboratory  finding:  the  presence  of  large  numbers  of  spirochetes  of  the  genus  Borrelia  in  the  blood.
