SANANTONIO VALDEARCOS, F.  and  OTERO REIGADA, M. C.. TIBOLA: an emergent disease caused by tick bite. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.67, pp.e193-e195. ISSN 1139-7632.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322015000400012.

Tick-borne diseases are rare in our environment. We describe a case of tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA), an emergent disease caused by Rickettsia slovaca. The patients have a necrotic eschar on the scalp, at the site of a bite, fever and multiple occipital and/or cervical lymphadenopathies. The medium duration of incubation since the bite is seven days. In the case of a patient with cervical adenitis and history of tick bite and/or eschar scalp, the diagnosis of TIBOLA is the most common.

Keywords : TIBOLA; Rickettsia slovaca; Tick bite.
