ABSTRACT
The occurrence of tick bites and related dermatoses have been rarely described in Korea. Ticks may cause various infectious diseases associated with dermatoses by transmission of the mediating pathogens such as virus, bacteria and rickettsia. We describe herein, to our knowledge, the first tick bite with Ixodes monospinosus in Korea, The patient, a 64-year old male, was bitten by a tick while climbing a mountain which is located in the Kanghwado. He had an asymptomatic, yellowish pea-sized tick attached on the right antecubital area for 7 days' duration, which was identified as an adult female of I. monospinosus by the scanning electron microscopic examination.
