Study of Febrile Syndromes After Tick Bite

Febrile syndromes after tick bites can be caused by different microorganisms: bacteria (B. miyamotoi, A. phagocytophilum, R. helvetica…), parasites (Babesia spp) and viruses (TBE virus). The clinical picture is not specific but complications may appear depending on the microorganism identified (thrombosis with N. mikurensis, meningoencephalitis with B. miyamotoi and the TBE virus). Thus, in order to provide appropriate treatment and monitoring, the infection should be documented.
