ABSTRACT

Yezo virus (VYEZ) fever is the first confirmed infection caused by Nairovirus in Japan. Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and elevated liver enzymes and ferritin are the main features of VYEZ fever, similar to severe fever syndrome with thrombocytopenia (SFGT) and relapsing fever, which are also tick-borne infections. Symptoms of VYEZ infection are relatively nonspecific, such as fever and malaise. There may be difficulty walking due to bilateral lower extremity pain probably secondary to myositis, pruritic rash, upper extremity weakness, without abnormal neurological findings.
