Tick Talk - On Demand 2026
Fever, rash, and sudden cytopenias don’t always equal sepsis—sometimes it’s a tick. Tick Talk overviews the major U.S. culprits and reviews hallmark clues—region, season, labs, and rash patterns—to help hospitalists swiftly identify and differentiate Lyme, RMSF, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. Apply pattern recognition and evaluate pitfalls to start empiric therapy sooner and reduce preventable harm.
