A 53‐year‐old Japanese male forest officer suffered from pains which seemed to be insect bites. Examination revealed a patient with more than 10 pustule‐like lesions which subsequently proved to be larval A. testudinariuminfestations. All the ticks were removed with a pair of forceps. The remaining erythematous lesions were treated with 0.25% hydrocortisone clotamiton ointment. Pains disappeared soon. A diagnosis of tick infestation should be made before the tick is removed, in order to prevent severe effects from allowing the mouth parts of the tick to remain, which occasionally results in inflammation and granulation tissue formation, and also to make a good preparation of the tick for correct identification. |
