Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Borrelial diseases are an important cause of undiagnosed fever. Improved standards of living and better sanitary conditions have almost completely controlled louse borne relapsing fever; however sporadic cases of tick borne relapsing fever are still seen. Its true incidence is more than the reported one [1] and diagnosis can only be established if the condition is kept in mind as is highlighted in our case.
