Tick bites, though uncommon in Korea, present with distinct histopathologic findings. Ixodes nipponensis ticks were identified as the primary cause, leading to tick bite panniculitis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Parasitology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Tick bites are uncommon dermatoses in Korea.
  • Understanding clinical and histopathologic signs is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Causative tick species and incidence vary geographically.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the causative tick species in Korean tick bite cases.
  • To describe the histopathologic features of tick bites.
  • To establish tick bite panniculitis as a differential diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Collection of five ticks from five patients.
  • Identification of tick species, with a focus on Ixodes (I.) nipponensis.
  • Histopathologic examination of affected tissues.

Main Results:

  • Ixodes (I.) nipponensis was identified as the most common causative tick species.
  • Histopathologic findings revealed panniculitis in four out of five cases.
  • Both septal and lobular panniculitis patterns were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Ixodes (I.) nipponensis is the predominant tick species causing bites in Korea.
  • Tick bite panniculitis, characterized by neutrophils, should be considered in differential diagnoses.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires awareness of tick-borne dermatoses and their histopathology.
