Borrelia miyamotoi Disease in an Immunocompetent Patient, Western Europe.

Borrelia miyamotoi disease is a hard tick-borne relapsing fever illness that occurs across the temperate climate zone. Human B. miyamotoi disease in immunocompetent patients has been described in Russia, North America, and Japan. We describe a case of B. miyamotoi disease in an immunocompetent patient in western Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
