tick borne illness

............................................................................................................. Several ticks that are found in the United States can cause an illness similar to that of this patient. The deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) transmits three infections: Lyme borreliosis, human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis. The Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum), which is found in the southern United States, and not in New England except for a relict population in Narragansett Bay, is the main vector of monocytic ehrlichiosis due to Ehrlichia chaffeensis. The Dermacentor variabilis tick, also known as the dog tick or the wood tick, can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever or tularemia. The ornithodoros tick is the only soft-body tick that transmits infections to humans, specifically relapsing fever, but this does not occur in New England.
