We report 2 cases of ATBF associated with cellulitis. A 77-year-old woman was referred for severe leg cellulitis upon returning from sub-Saharan Africa. She developed erythematous macules. &lt;i&gt;Rickettsia africae &lt;\/i&gt;was detected by PCR assay from a skin biopsy specimen, and ATBF diagnosis was confirmed. A 75-year-old man was hospitalized after his return from Zimbabwe for a maculopapular exanthema and erysipelas-like rash of the leg. The diagnosis of cellulitis associated with ATBF was confirmed by PCR and serological methods. Both patients were treated for ATBF and cellulitis by a combination of doxycycline and \u03b2-lactam antibiotics, and both had a good recovery. Inoculation eschar may be a risk factor for cellulitis; thus, we hypothesize a non-fortuitous association between ATBF and cellulitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000134916","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,26]],"date-time":"2008-05-26T13:38:42Z","timestamp":1211809122000},"page":"140-142","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Two Cases of Cellulitis in the Course of African Tick Bite Fever: A Fortuitous Association?"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"217","author":[{"given":"Sophie","family":"Bouvresse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Del Giudice","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Franck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Buffet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie-Fran\u00e7oise","family":"Avril","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V\u00e9ronique","family":"Mondain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marc","family":"Rolain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Didier","family":"Raoult","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Dupin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056%2FNEJM200105173442003"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001%2Farchderm.142.10.1312"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086%2F426440"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128%2FCDLI.7.4.612-616.2000"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128%2FJCM.41.12.5456-5465.2003"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000104262"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000096913"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000090649"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000089019"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Frheumatology%2Fkel130"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2002-34005"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Frheumatology%2Fkei173"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00296-004-0493-6"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.trstmh.2005.01.006"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/134916","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/134916","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:16:44Z","timestamp":1745457404000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000134916"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000134916","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
