| Abstract: | Ticks are the largest members of the order Acarina. They are vectors of many systemic diseases like rickettsial diseases, lyme disease, viral encephalitis, ehrlichiosis and babesiosis. Tick bites also lead to foreign body reactions, reactions to salivary secretions, reaction to injected toxins and hypersensitivity reactions, and neurological complications. We report tick induced isolated lower motor neuron (LMN) facial palsy in a toddler. |
