Abstract

A 60 year old farmer from west Shewa in Ethiopia presented on February 13 2014, with right arm flaccid monoplegia after bitten by a tick stuck to his right arm pit. The case was initially misdiagnosed as cellulitis. To our knowledge, tick paralysis has not been reported from Ethiopia. We report the case presentation with literature review.
