The incident of spotted fever imported to Denmark is unknown. We present a classic case of African Tick Bite Fever (ATBF) to highlight a disease, which frequently infects wildlife enthusiasts and hunters on vacation in South Africa. ATBF has a good prognosis and is easily treated with doxycycline. The treatment should be given upon the clinical picture alone, since antibodies only reveal half of infected cases.
输入丹麦的斑疹热病例情况不明。我们展示一例典型的非洲蜱咬热（ATBF）病例，以凸显一种经常感染在南非度假的野生动物爱好者和猎人的疾病。非洲蜱咬热预后良好，用强力霉素简单治疗即可。仅凭临床表现就应给予治疗，因为抗体检测只能查出一半的感染病例。
