Tick bite fever (boutonneuse fever) is endemic in India, Africa and especially the Mediterranean countries. It is occasionally "imported" into central European countries by tourists. The exanthematic disease is caused by infection with Rickettsia conori, which is usually transmitted by the brown dog tick. A typical primary lesion at the site of the tick's bite is an important diagnostic hint. The treatment of choice are tetracyclines.
蜱咬热（南欧斑疹热）在印度、非洲尤其是地中海国家流行。偶尔会有游客将其“传入”中欧国家。这种发疹性疾病由康氏立克次体感染引起，通常由棕狗蜱传播。蜱叮咬部位的典型原发性损害是重要的诊断线索。首选治疗药物是四环素类。
