ABSTRACT
A 76-year-old woman infected with Yezo virus (YEZV) developed liver dysfunction and thrombocytopenia following a tick bite. Despite the severity of her elevated liver enzymes and reduced platelet counts, the patient's condition improved spontaneously without any specific treatment. To our knowledge, this represents the first documented case where the YEZV genome was detected simultaneously in a patient's serum and the tick (Ixodes persulcatus) that bit the patient. This dual detection not only supports the hypothesis that YEZV is a tick-borne pathogen but also underscores the importance of awareness and diagnostic readiness for emerging tick-borne diseases, particularly in regions where these ticks are prevalent.
