Relapsing fever is an infection caused by some bacteria in the genus Borrelia.[1] It is sometimes called typhinia.[2] It is carried and spread by lice and ticks.[3]
The word "relapse" means to come back. The disease is called "relapsing fever" because the symptoms can go away and come back several times until the person is cured.[4]
