ABSTRACT
2 patients with tick fever had had an encephalo-meningitis complication, a rare condition with clinical symptoms similar with other type of encephalo-meningitis. In the diagnosis of encephalo-meningitis fever caused by Ricketsia, it must pay attention to the signs of conjunctive congestion, erythrema, especially the ulcerous lesions with high diagnostic value. The change in cerebro spinal fluid is not usually specific as meningitis caused by pyogenes bacteria. These are an increase of protein level, light decrease of glucose level and a minime increased of cell count. The early detection and specific treatment reduce the severity of the condition and cerebral symptoms can be reduced slower than the fever
