Nine days later he saw his general practitioner because of fever and headache. Three weeks after the tick bite he was hospitalized with fever (39.2 degrees C) and mental confusion. Because he had taken a Nile cruise six months earlier, malaria was considered and he was transferred to the department of tropical medicine and infectious diseases of the University of Rostock. | lld:pubmed |
