  • Title: [Dermohypodermitis on the face revealing TIBOLA].
    Author: Gaston J, Durox H, Sparsa A, Bonnetblanc JM, Doffoel-Hantz V.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 2011 May; 18(5):565-7. PubMed ID: 21493049.
    Abstract:
    Tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) is an emerging rickettsiosis in Europe, transmitted by the Dermacentor tick. This syndrome is defined as the association of an inoculation eschar on the scalp that may be surrounded by an erythema scalp, fever, and painful cervical lymphadenopathy in colder months. Children and women are at higher risk for TIBOLA. We report the case of a 9 year-old French child with an acute hemifacial edema and erythema revealing TIBOLA. Early empirical antibiotic therapy should be prescribed in any suspected TIBOLA, before confirmation of the diagnosis. The recommended treatment is doxycycline or macrolide.
