    Abstract:
    The Mediterranean spotted fever is always present in the south of France. The actual incidence is unknown. The disease appears in summer. The diagnostic is based on the association of fever, "black spot" and exanthema and/or a seroconversion. Indirect immunofluorescence is the most used technique. Some patients have severe complications: neurologic, cardiovascular, renal, thrombopenia. These cases look like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The treatment is based on tetracycline.
