Sodoku is a bacterial zoonotic disease. It is caused by outnumbered spirochaete "Spirillum minus". It is a form of rat-bite fever (RBF).

Causes

The infections are acquired through rat bites or scratches. It can occur as nosocomial infections (ie, acquired from hospitals), or due to exposure or close associations with animals predating rats, mice, squirrels etc. Sodoku is mostly seen in Asia. The incubation period is 4 to 28 days.

Presentation and symptoms
