Abstract
82 years old man was treated in the hospital for rhabdomyolysis and dehydration. Four days after admission, a bloated tick attaching to his arm was found. The result of PCR from his whole blood targeting rickettsia species including of JSF was negative. The serological study of anti R.japonica IgG/ IgM antibodies during both the acute and recovery phase did not appear to be the elevated levels. The removed tick was identical to that of Amblyomma testudinarium having Rickettsia tamurae from the result of PCR method. R. tamurae may be less infectious and virulent rickettsia compared with R. japonica.
