Abstract

Tick-borne diseases are increasing compared to the past. This group includes various clinical conditions such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, tularemia, Colorado tick fever, and relapsing tick-borne fever. The difficulty is that the symptoms of many tick-borne infections are similar to the common childhood illnesses. Therefore, identifying the location of exposure or the feature of the rash or the identification of tick vector can help us identify the specific disease and recognize, treat, and prevent the complications of these pathologies
