A 58-year old housewife consulted us about 1 cm sized, dark-brownish, bean-like mass which was dropped spontaneously from indurated skin lesion on her abdomen. The mass was identified morphologically as an engorged female Ixodes nipponensis. Nine days earlier, she had an excursion collecting edible sprouts of wild grass. Spontaneous retreat has been unusual in clinical tick bites in Korea. Fourteen cases of tick bite described in the Korean literature were reviewed briefly in relation to Lyme borreliosis.
一位58岁的家庭主妇向我们咨询，她腹部硬结性皮肤病变处自行脱落了一个1厘米大小、深褐色、豆状的肿块。经形态学鉴定，该肿块为一只饱血的日本硬蜱雌蜱。九天前，她曾外出采集野草的可食用嫩芽。在韩国，蜱虫叮咬后自行脱落的情况在临床上并不常见。我们简要回顾了韩国文献中描述的14例蜱虫叮咬病例与莱姆病的关系。
