- Abstract
Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae is considered a rare pathogen that can cause different clinical presentations. Approximately, one-third of the patients with this infection experience lymphangitis from the inoculation eschar to the draining lymph nodes, and, in that case, the infection is named "lymphangitis-associated rickettsiosis" (LAR). There are several reports of infections by this Rickettsia but none of LAR in children. We report a case of LAR in a Spanish child, which confirms the distribution of this agent in our country, and his implication in pediatric population.
