Mediterranean spotted fever is a rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia conorii and transmitted by the brown dog tick. It is considered as a benign disease but 5% to 10% of patients present with a malignant form which is the result of a diffuse vasculitis. We report here the first case of Mediterranean spotted fever with cerebral vasculitis and thrombosis leading to a massive cerebral infarct and death.
