African tick typhus: One of the tick-borne rickettsial
diseases of the eastern hemisphere, similar to Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but less
severe, with fever, a small ulcer (tache noire) at the site of the tick bite, swollen
glands nearby (satellite lymphadenopathy), and a red raised (maculopapular) rash. Also
called fievre boutonneuse.
