چکیده
sand fly fever (sf) is an arthropod-borne viral disease, also known as “phlebotomus fever”, ‘’mosquito fever’’, three-day fever or “papatacci fever”. it is transmitted by phlebotomus papatasi , starts with acute onset of high fever, and lasts for three days. we present first cases in a different district of turkey with the clinical findings of fever, myalgia-arthralgia, headache, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea and nausea-vomiting and skin lesions (in two of them). all the patients were treated symptomatically and discharged with complete cure. these cases are indicating that sand fly fever is more common than we thought. it should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with fever, arthralgia-myalgia and skin lesions, especially it is important to be aware of this disease in travellers returning from endemic areas.
