Abstract
The adult respiratory disease syndrome is associated with multiple disorders. At least one of the rickettsial diseases, RMSF, has been reported to be associated with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. We report herein another rickettsial disease, boutonneuse fever, which is produced by Rickettsia conorii and is usually a mild disease, that in our patient was associated with ARDS.
