Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Non-hemorrhagic fever diseases are infectious diseases that are characterized by high fever but without internal hemorrhaging due to capillary fragility. All these non-hemorrhagic fever diseases are caused by bacteria. There are eight types of non-hemorrhagic fever disease: brucellosis, rocky mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, trench fever, cat-scratch disease, Q fever, and ehrlichiosis.
