Abstract
Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) borreliae are one of the main causes of fever in rural Africa and can cause miscarriages. This article reports Borrelia crocidurae as a probable cause of spontaneous miscarriage, which was detected through vaginal self-sampling. This appears to be the first such report. Keywords: Borrelia crocidurae, Vaginal self-sampling, Spontaneous miscarriage
