Some of the diseases you can get from a tick bite are Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. Some ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see. [icdlist.com]
The ICD code A21 is used to code Tularemia Tularemia (or tularaemia; also known as Pahvant Valley plague, rabbit fever, deer fly fever, and Ohara's fever) is a serious infectious disease caused by the intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis. [icd.codes]
Oculoglandular tularemia is not only suspected in cases who complain of fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and purulent conjunctivitis, it should also be suspected in cases who are admitted to the hospital with acute dacryocystitis, which is a rare component [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

X-ray or CT may show bronchial infiltrates, pleural effusions, and hilar lymphadenopathy. Septicemic: This is the most severe form of tularemia. [visualdx.com]
This is accompanied by lymphadenopathy of the head and neck. Severe ulceration may penetrate the sclera entering the eye and infect the optic nerve, causing blindness. In glandular tularemia generalized lymphadenopathy is the first manifeatation. [histopathology-india.net]
Oculoglandular tularemia is not only suspected in cases who complain of fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and purulent conjunctivitis, it should also be suspected in cases who are admitted to the hospital with acute dacryocystitis, which is a rare component [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Sputum
Blood or sputum cultures may be negative for F. tularensis. Serology may detect antibodies against F. tularensis; diagnosis is confirmed by a four-fold increase in titer. Urinalysis reveals sterile pyuria or myoglobinuria. [quizlet.com]
The initial manifestations are non-specific and can progress to fever and a cough with little sputum production. [path.upmc.edu]

Prognosis

The most serious infections are complicated by a secondary pneumonia and endotoxic shock, in which case the prognosis is grave. In oculoglandular tularemia the primary lesion is a papule in the conjunctiva, which becomes a pustule and ulcerates. [histopathology-india.net]
Etiology
In many instances Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome is probably a form of the same disease entity in which the etiologic agent has gained entrance into the conjunctiva rather than into the skin. [jamanetwork.com]
