TIBOLA : Multicenter Descriptive Study in Eastern France

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

TIBOLA (TIck-BOrne LymphAdenopathy) is a tick-borne disease. The pathogen is most often rickettsia (R. slovaca or R. raoultii), but other strict intracellular bacteria have been described (Francisella tularensis, Coxiella burnetii, Bartonella hensenlae). Transmitted by ticks (Dermacentor), it is characterized by an inoculation eschar at the tick bite site, accompanied by painful loco-regional lymphadenopathy. It is most often a benign pathology, which can nevertheless leave sequellar alopecia or persistent asthenia. In spring 2021, an impression of increased cases was reported by clinicians in Eastern France. The study aims to clarify the clinical-biological presentation and the evolution of the number of cases of TIBOLA in this region between 2016 and 2021. At the same time, entomologists have noted an upsurge in this tick in certain biotopes in recent years.
