Louse-borne relapsing fever in a refugee from Mali
Infection, 2017Due to the increasing number of refugees from East Africa, louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) has become an emergent disease in Europe. No single case of LBRF has been reported in Europe in refugees from other parts of Africa.We report a case of LBRF in a refugee from Mali, likely acquired in Libya, where several migration routes into Europe meet.
