1 Ticks-related fever Dr. José A. Oteo 15 th ESCMID Summer School Seville, Thursday, 7 July 2016
2 Case 1 August 9: a 16 year old male patient was admitted to the emergency room of San Pedro Hospital in La Rioja (Spain) because of a 3 days of fever (39 o C), malaise, myalgia and headache. In the anamnesis he reported the presence of a tick, handly removed, on his leg 12 days before. He had been camping in a mountain area in the North of Spain with his friends.
3 Case 1: Physical examination/complementary studies Tª 39 o C BP 110/75 mmhg Alert without neurological deficiencies. No rash. No cardiac or lung abnormalities. He referred to abdominal pain when the liver area was explored. Laboratory studies (emergency room): White cell count: 3,025/mm 3 (4.3% band forms, 72.3% neutrophils, 4.7% monocytes, 16.7% lymphocites); platelets 114,000/mm 3 ; hgb 13 g/l; AST 72 U/L; ALT 65 U/L; LDH 637 U/L. Chest Rx and abdominal ultrasonography did not reveal abnormalities.
4 Case 1: Complementary studies and treatment Giemsa stain of a blood smear did not show presence of morulae. Blood cultures, serologies to Borrelia burgdorferi sl. (ELISA), Anaplasma phagocytophilum (IFA), Rickettsia conorii (IFA), Coxiella burnetii (IFA) and a blood EDTA sample for performing PCRs to 16S rrna, msp for A. phagocytophilum and glta and ompb for Rickettsia spp. were processed. A tick-bite related fever was suspected and oral doxycycline was started: 100 mg bid. Blood cultures and all serologies were negative. ELISA: Enzyme-linked inmunoabsorbent; IFA : indirect immunofluorescence assay; PCR: Polymerase chain reaction
5 What is your diagnosis?
6 Case 1: Results, diagnosis and outcomes PCRs to 16S rrna and msp were positive. Another PCR amplifying the groel also resulted positive. The nucleotide sequence obtained showed 100% similarity with A. phagocytophilum. After 36 hours of starting doxycycline, fever and malaise disappeared. The patient was discharged. A second serum sample, 3 weeks later, showed an IFA (IgG) titre of 256 against A. phagocytophilum and 80 to C. burnetti phase II. Diagnosis: Human Anaplasmosis

20 Case 2 September 8: a 64 year old male patient was admitted to the Infectious Diseases Department in San Pedro Hospital in La Rioja (Spain) because of 15 days of malaise, headache, arthralgia and cervical and left arm radicular pain. Five days before admission fever of 38 o C was present. He worked in a furniture factory and was on treatment with candesartan and aspirin because of arterial hypertension.
21 Case 2 He did not remember tick-bite or rash in the last 3 months although he was a mushroom collector and went frequently to the mountains to take them. Several years ago he had removed ticks attached to different zones on his body but had never suffered a tick-borne disease.
22 Tª 38.3 o C Case 2: Physical examination BP 150/75 mmhg Bilateral facial paralysis Absence of tricipital reflex in left arm.
23 Case 2: Complementary studies Laboratory blood studies: complete blood count and biochemical parameters within the normal range with the exception of CRP (35 mg/l). Tumoral markers negative. VDRL and HIV negative. Several serologies to tick-borne related infections were taken. Craneal CT scan: no abnormalities. Lumbar puncture: 275 leucocytes/mm 3 (91% lymphocytes and isolated plasmatic cells); proteins g/dl; VDRL negative. ADA in normal range.
24 What is your diagnosis?
25 Case 2: complementary studies CSF smear Western Blot in serum flab gene PCR in CSF
26 Case 2: diagnosis, treatment and outcomes A diagnosis of neuroborreliosis (Bannwarth s syndrome) was made. Ceftriaxone 2 g/24h IV was started. He slowly improved clinical signs in the next days. After 6 days of hospitalization the patient was discharged receiving the treatment at home for 21 days. 1 month later the patient was asymptomatic.
