[Boutonneuse Mediterranean fever (author's transl)].

Authors report six cases of boutonneuse Mediterranean fever seen in the last two years. All of them presented fever, malaise, generalised maculopapulous rash and a typical black spot or inoculation canker. Diagnosis was done by a positive Weil-Félix test. The treatment used was tetracycline with good results. Incidence of this disease is increasing in our country.
