The aim of this study was to know the incidence of tick-borne rickettsial disease in a Mediterranean area. The incidence in 5 years for 100,000 inhabitants was 1.7 for tick-borne-lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) and 0.4 for Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF). MSH incidence during the last few years has been lower than expected; in contrast TIBOLA seems to be an emerging disease. At the present time our data suggest a low tick-borne rickettsiosis incidence of MSF and a superior incidence of TIBOLA than MSF in the Spanish Mediterranean area.
