Abstract
The development of tourism, migration processes create favorable conditions for the importation of communicable and parasitic diseases from the endemic and natural foci to the non-endemic areas. The lack of alertness of healthcare workers to tick-borne rickettsioses leads to difficulties in their diagnosis, despite the presence of characteristic clinical manifestations. The paper considers cases of importation of rickettsial diseases and describes a clinical case of tsutsugamushi fever (scrub typhus) that is difficult to verify.
