ABSTRACT
Since 1982, 31 cases of tick bites were reported in Korea and only one case of Haemaphysalis longicornis related to tick bites was included. Until now, nymph related or multiple tick(more than three) related to tick bites were not reported in the Korean literatures. We report three cases of tick bites by Haemaphysalis longicornis. The first case is a 71-year-old Korean woman who had a tick stuck on the anterior chest area. The second case is a 64-year-old Korean man who visited a clinic for pruritic, multiple, erythematous papules and nodules. The third case is 50-year-old man who visited the hospital for pruritic, erythematous nodules on calf area. Eight ticks were collected from three patients which were one female in the first case, two females in the second case and two females and three nymphs in the third case and all of them were identified as Haemaphysalis longicornis.
