Abstract
Scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy after a tick bite (SENLAT) is an emerging non-pathogen-specific syndrome characterized by scalp eschar and occipital and/or cervical lymph node enlargement following a tick bite. We report a case of SENLAT syndrome in an Argentinian patient after exposure to ticks during outdoor work in the Paraná River Delta region.
