A) Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
B) chronic Lyme disease.
C) typhus.
D) HPS.

Accepted Answer

Chronic Lyme disease is similar to chronic syphilis in that it is caused by a long-term bacterial infection (Borrelia burgdorferi in the case of Lyme disease) and can result in similar symptoms such as neurological problems and joint pain. Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus, and HPS are caused by different types of bacteria or viruses and have different symptom profiles.
