Recurrent splinter haemorrhages weeks after a tick bite.

T S van der Werf1, J E Tulleken, J G Zijlstra.   

Abstract

A 52-year-old man developed fever, headache, tinnitus, and painful joints. He reported a tick bite contracted during a summer holiday in the Netherlands, followed by erythema on his left arm three weeks earlier. Initial treatment with doxycycline had failed and he had now developed signs of meningoencephalitis. Laboratory tests showed an increased white cell count (16.1 x 10(9)/1), and elevated ESR (51/1h).
