Neoehrlichia mikurensis in Ticks and Tick-Bitten Persons, Sweden and Finland, 2008-2009.

ABSTRACT: By using PCR testing, we found Neoehrlichia mikurensis DNA in 1.1% of ticks removed from persons in Sweden and Finland. Symptoms developed in 2 immunocompetent persons. Despite low transmission risk, infection can occur after short tick attachment. Our findings highlight the need to consider N. mikurensis in patients with unexplained symptoms after tick bite.
