ABSTRACT
Powassan virus lineage II (POWV), also known as deer tick virus, is an emerging tick-borne pathogen transmitted by Ixodes scapularis, the natural vector for the organisms that causes Lyme disease, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis. POWV is the only tick-borne flavivirus in North America known to cause disease in humans. We present a suspected pediatric case of POWV infection in northern Wisconsin.
