We describe a man with a febrile illness and an eschar that developed at the site of a tick bite. Approximately 5 weeks after admission, the eschar had exfoliated, revealing that the underlying skin was pink and healthy; no significant areas of necrosis remained. An early-uncontaminated biopsy, formulation of a surgical plan, early debridement of eschar with temporary skin cover and scrupulous wound management all contribute to a successful outcome when applying CEA sheets and Keratinocytes cell spray (Maim et al 2005). |
