Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tickborne pathogen that has been associated with central nervous system infections in immunocompromised patients, albeit infrequently. We describe a case-patient in Minnesota, USA, who had meningeal symptoms of 1 month duration. B. miyamotoi infection was diagnosed by Gram staining on cerebrospinal fluid and confirmed by sequencing.
