Hiccups and Inappropriate ADH Secretion Syndrome as Presentations of Tick-Borne Disease
European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2019 Tick-borne diseases (Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis) are becoming a major public health concern. Rapid and correct diagnosis is crucial for complicated cases but is often delayed because of low suspicion or unusual clinical presentation.

Human Tick-Borne Diseases in Australia [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019 There are 17 human-biting ticks known in Australia. The bites of Ixodes holocyclus, Ornithodoros capensis, and Ornithodoros gurneyi can cause paralysis, inflammation, and severe local and systemic reactions in humans, respectively. Six ticks, including Amblyomma triguttatum, Bothriocroton hydrosauri, Haemaphysalis novaeguineae, Ixodes cornuatus, Ixodes
