    This case report details the first documented instance of tick-bite fever in a pregnant woman in Southern Africa. Further research is needed to understand tick-bite fever

    Area of Science:

    • Medical research
    • Obstetrics and Gynaecology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Tick-bite fever is common in Southern Africa.
    • Its occurrence during pregnancy is known but rarely documented.
    • This study addresses a gap in understanding this infection in pregnant individuals.

    Observation:

    • This report documents the first confirmed case of tick-bite fever in a pregnant woman.
    • The natural history and placental involvement remain largely unknown.
    • A case register has been established to collect further data.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the need for more research on tick-bite fever in pregnancy.
    • Current understanding of placental involvement is conjectural.
    • Erythromycin is suggested as the preferred treatment.
