一名78岁的日本男子出现临床症状和流感样疾病，包括发烧、寒战、腹泻和关节痛，他在出现症状和疾病之前曾前往柬埔寨和俄罗斯哈巴罗夫斯克。他曾被一只过硫蜱叮咬，在其中检测到瓦莱西亚伯氏疏螺旋体的DNA。患者经二甲胺四环素治疗后症状迅速好转。血清学检查检出莱姆病伯氏疏螺旋体抗体。flaB聚合酶链反应与患者的血浆扩增DNA片段类似于B. valaisiana。
A 78-year-old Japanese man who had clinical symptoms and a flu-like illness with fever, chills, diarrhea, and arthralgia had traveled to Cambodia and Khabarovsk, Russia, before the onset of symptoms and illness. He had been bitten by an Ixodes persulcatus tick in which the DNA of Borrelia valaisiana was detected. The patient's symptoms improved rapidly after treatment with minocycline. Serologic examination detected antibodies to Lyme disease Borrelia. An flaB polymerase chain reaction with the patient's plasma amplified a DNA fragment similar to that of B. valaisiana.
