Abstract
Outbreak of Exanthematous Illness Associated with Zika, Chikungunya, and Dengue Viruses, Salvador, Brazil.
Highlights
We did not test for Rickettsia or Babesia spp., we did not find TBEV RNA, B. burgdorferi sensu lato 16S RNA, pathogenic Ehrlichia 16S RNA, or pathogenic Anaplasma DNA in the 2 B. miyamotoi–positive patients’ blood samples
We demonstrated that the transmission rate of B. miyamotoi appears to be equal to, or higher, than that of B. burgdorferi sensu lato [1,9,10]
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection typically causes a self-limited dengue-like illness characterized by exanthema, low-grade fever, conjunctivitis, and arthralgia, and an increase in rates of Guillain-Barré syndrome have been observed during ZIKV outbreaks [5]
