Abstract |
Summary
1. | This is believed to be the first reported case in the state of Florida. It is interesting to note that this case occurred during the month of November. Although summer is the time when ticks are found in temperate zones, in south Florida the year-round subtropical climate predisposes to the continuous presence of these insects. Tick paralysis may occur throughout the year in this area. |
2. | This patient was first suspectedof having “polio.” It is hoped that this case report will focus a little more attention on the existence of tick paralysis—a curable paralysis of childhood. |
