    Abstract Rickettsioses are vector-borne zoonotic diseases whose etiological agents are bacteria of the genera Rickettsia and Orientia. In Colombia, literature published on rickettsioses during the 20th century is limited and disperse; to date, there are no detailed publications that compile the affected regions or the involved Rickettsia species in each outbreak. Since early works of Luis Patiño-Camargo, the study of rickettsioses gained major importance with the subsequent description of significant outbreaks in some departments of the country. During the 1940s, many articles were published reporting outbreaks probably caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia typhi, and Rickettsia prowazekii, as well as studies on their diagnosis, vaccination, and prophylaxis. One of the most notorious works was published by Patiño-Camargo where he named the R. rickettsii rickettsiosis as "Tobia fever". However, in the subsequent decades, these entities entered a prolonged period of neglected research and surveillance, and just gained importance until the 21st century, when new fatal cases began to be reported in the country; thus, many questions remained unanswered during this overlooked period. The present work reviewed online databases, repositories, and libraries to compile literature related to rickettsioses in Colombia published during the 20th century. Gathered data show that typhus group rickettsioses (including infections by R. typhi and R. prowazekii) were broadly distributed in departments from the Andean and Caribbean regions, and that spotted fever group rickettsioses cases (including infections by R. rickettsii) were registered in other locations different from Tobia (Cundinamarca), like Atlántico, Bolivar, and Santander departments. These findings contribute to the knowledge of these diseases, their historical distribution, public health burden, and set new horizons for rickettsioses research in different Colombian locations.

    Abstract Murine typhus is an undifferentiated febrile illness. Historically recognized throughout Latin America, it has been seldom reported in recent decades. When clinicians and researchers are attuned, endemic foci have reemerged. The demonstrable seroprevalence in areas devoid of reported cases indicates murine typhus is an underappreciated infectious disease in Latin America.

    Title translation Epidemiological surveillance system for the acute febrile syndrome in Villeta, Colombia.
    Abstract Objective: To generate a preliminary proposal of an integral surveillance system for the acute febrile syndrome in Villeta municipality, Cundinamarca department, with the goal to establish a collection processes and data capture in the presentation of human and animal cases.
    Materials and methods: A database was generated from a cross-sectional retrospective study of 40 sheets of mandatory reporting for suspected dengue patients collected during October 2011 and March 2013 from Hospital Salazar of Villeta. These data were analyzed by the Epiinfo 7 program. Also, because of the evidence of leptospirosis and rickettsial circulation in this municipality and whereas these etiologies are zoonotic, an adaptation was made regarding the event in dogs. These results allowed to design the proposed system, including operational surveillance case definitions for febrile etiologies, action algorithms and reporting tools.
    Results: Sixty percent of people who consulted for febrile syndrome belonged to the county seat. 30% of patients were under 10 years. Fever (98%), myalgia (85%), headache (75%) and arthralgia (65%) were the symptoms reported with more frequency. The largest number of cases occurred in September, 2012. The proposed system of syndromic surveillance will strengthen surveillance considering four components: human, animal, community and environmental by facilitating the opportune identification and treatment of cases of acute febrile illnesses.
    Conclusion: The syndromic surveillance system allows to relate comprehensively febrile illnesses with common signs, making the reporting process more efficient.
