ABSTRACT
We report three cases of tick-associated rash illness (TARI) in Japan that presented with erythema migrans (EM) after a tick bite. Although EM is considered to be a characteristic finding of Lyme disease, EM can occur even if patient is not affected by Lyme disease and if it is bitten by a tick. In Japan, the vector of Lyme disease pathogens are not distributed in most areas, and patients with EM are unlikely to have Lyme disease. We aim to raise TARI awareness among physicians.
