Abstract

Erythema migrans is usually associated with infections/co-infections with Borrelia spp. DEBONEL and other localized diseases caused by Rickettsia spp. following a tick bite usually respond to therapy with doxycycline but possible co-infections with Borrelia spp should be excluded. In this case, PCR in the tick was positive for Rickettsia raoultii.
