I saw that she's been tested for Lyme, and that you were going to talk to the doctor about Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Have they thought about testing for other Borrelia bugs than Lyme, like the one that causes relapsing fever? Or, perhaps, the other Rickettsia bugs related to RMSF (such as murine typhus)? (Misia's comment above actually started me down the typhus path of reading, and Delia's rash certainly sounds like the kind of rash that goes with it.)
Sorry if I'm being annoying with the suggestions. This is the sort of thing for which I immediately run off and start Googling through the NIH website. The perils of medical writing and whatnot.
