ABSTRACT
Recently, a new genus of
Anaplasmataceae
termed “
Candidatus
Neoehrlichia” was discovered in ticks and rodents. Here, we report on two patients who suffered from febrile bacteremia due to “
Candidatus
Neoehrlichia mikurensis” associated with thrombotic or hemorrhagic events. 16S rRNA and
groEL
gene sequencing provided evidence of three groups of sequence variants.
