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.
