Abstract
Neoehrlichia mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne pathogen that is increasingly reported and can cause fever of unknown origin in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of neoehrlichiosis occurring after B-cell-depleting treatment. Despite the availability of effective and inexpensive treatment, patients often experience significant care delays due to diagnostic challenges and insufficient awareness.
