Abstract
Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF), caused by Rickettsia conorii, is an endemic zoonosis in Mediterranean regions. Although cutaneous and systemic manifestations are well described, neurological involvement remains an underestimated but potentially serious complication. This article explores the pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tools and therapeutic options for neurological involvement in BMF, based on recent data.
