| description | Key Clinical Message Rickettsia spp. should be investigated if Tache Noire, as a dark plaque covering a superficial ulcer surrounded by scale, edema, and erythema, are observed, even in non‐endemic areas of Rickettsia spp. Abstract A 31‐year‐old man with fever, dyspnea, abdominal pain, and jaundice has been admitted to the hospital in the southeast of Iran.
