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.
