TL;DR: Disease in a human caused by Rickettsia parkeri is described, an SFG rickettsia first identified >60 years ago in Gulf Coast ticks collected from the southern United States, and application of specific laboratory assays to clinical specimens obtained from patients with febrile, eschar-associated illnesses following a tick bite may identify additional cases.
