Abstract

We herein present the case of a 28-day-old female with Japanese spotted fever, who is the youngest reported patient so far. Tick-borne diseases, including Japanese spotted fever, should be included in the differential diagnosis of eruptive fever even in neonates because a treatment delay can lead to a fatal outcome.
