We confirmed Borrelia miyamotoi infection in 7 patients who had contracted an illness while near La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA, an area where Ixodes scapularis ticks are endemic. B. miyamatoi infection should now be considered among differential diagnoses for patients from the midwestern United States who have signs and symptoms suggestive of tickborne illness.
我们确认了7名患者感染了鹿儿岛疏螺旋体,这些患者在美国威斯康星州拉克罗斯附近患病,该地区是肩突硬蜱的地方性流行区。对于来自美国中西部、有蜱传疾病体征和症状的患者,现在应将鹿儿岛疏螺旋体感染纳入鉴别诊断范围。
