ABSTRACT
We report a case of borreliosis mimicking uncomplicated malaria in a patient returning from Mali. Identification of spirochetes through examination of a thick blood smear completed by an acridine-orange quantitative buffy coat allowed the diagnosis of borreliosis. All symptoms rapidly resolved following tetracycline therapy. Epidemiological and clinical features of borreliosis, diagnostic tools and management are discussed.
