Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis Infection in Patient with Antecedent Hematologic Neoplasm, Spain

Abstract

We report a confirmed case of Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis infection in a woman in Spain who had a previous hematologic malignancy. Candidatus N. mikurensis infections should be especially suspected in immunocompromised patients who exhibit persistent fever and venous thrombosis, particularly if they live in environments where ticks are prevalent.
