Background  Scalp Eschar and Neck LymphAdenopathy after Tick bite is a zoonotic non-pathogen-specific disease most commonly due to  Rickettsia slovaca  and  Rickettsia raoultii.  Diagnosis is mostly based only on epidemiological and clinical findings, without serological or molecular corroboration.  We presented a clinical case in which diagnosis was supported by entomological identification and by  R. slovaca  DNA amplifications from the tick vector.    Case presentation  A 6-year-old child presented with asthenia, scalp eschar and supraclavicular and lateral-cervical lymphadenopathy. Scalp Eschar and Neck LymphAdenopathy After Tick bite syndrome following a  Dermacentor marginatus  bite was diagnosed. Serological test on serum revealed an IgG titer of 1:1024 against spotted fever group rickettsiae, polymerase chain reaction assays on tick identified  Rickettsia slovaca . Patient was successfully treated with doxycycline for 10 days.    Conclusions  A multidisciplinary approach including epidemiological information, clinical evaluations, entomological identification and molecular investigations on tick, enabled proper diagnosis and therapy.
