It is a rare disease spread by infected rodents and caused by two specific types of bacteria: Streptobacillus moniliformis, the only reported bacteria that causes RBF in North America (streptobacillary RBF) Spirillum minus, common in Asia (spirillary RBF, also known as sodoku). Most cases occur in Japan, but specific strains of the disease are ...
Sodoku is a bacterial zoonotic disease. It is caused by the Gram-negative rod Spirillum minus (also known as Spirillum minor ). It is a form of rat-bite fever (RBF).
In 1832, the genus Spirillum was created and encompassed an array of helical bacteria. In 1957, the large genus was reviewed and narrowed to include 19 species based on morphology and a few other physiological characteristics.
Spirillum minus is an organism associated with rat-bite fever (specifically sodoku) [2] [3] [4] that has never been fully identified and was assigned to the genus Spirillum in 1887 based on morphology, although it is not a validly published name.
Vincent's angina (also termed Plaut–Vincent's angina), [1] [2] is pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx) and tonsillitis (inflammation of the palatine tonsils), caused by infection with two types of bacteria called fusiform (Fusobacterium spp.) [3] and spirochaetes (Borrelia spp. [3] and Spirillum spp.).

A rash and arthritis develop 2–4 days after the initial onset. Less commonly the infection can cause pneumonitis, endocarditis or meningitis. As these symptoms are common to many febrile diseases, this is often classified as a fever of unknown origin (FUO). If untreated, death will occur in approximately 10% of cases. [4]
Although non-specific in nature, initial symptoms like relapsing fever, rash and migratory polyarthralgia are the most common symptoms of epidemic arthritic erythema. [1] Bites and scratches from rodents carrying the bacteria are generally responsible for the affliction. However, the disease can be spread even without physical lacerations by ...
