Powassan virus: Potentially fatal tick disease that can be transmitted in minutes reported in Maine

June 8, 2021 By Sherry Sievewright

Two new cases of a dangerous and potentially fatal tick-borne illness have health officials in Maine on high alert as agencies across the nation brace for a particularly high-population tick season. The patients, who were not identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), contracted Powassan virus, which differs from Lyme disease as it can be transferred from tick to human in a matter of minutes.

“It’s a virus, whereas Lyme is a bacteria,” Dr. Kent Holtorf, a Lyme disease expert and medical director of Holtorf Medical Group, told Fox News. “If you catch Lyme early, antibiotics can eradicate it, but with a virus, you have much less options to do anything about it.”

Holtorf added that the symptoms of Powassan are more severe than Lyme, and can quickly reach a patient’s brain, leaving them susceptible to long-term neurological damage. The patients in Maine began presenting symptoms in late April and were hospitalized with encephalitis. They’ve since been discharged and are continuing to recover. Not all patients will have symptoms and will not be impacted by the infection, but those who are may experience fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, seizures and memory loss. In 10-15 percent of cases, the virus proves fatal.

June 10, 2021 By Sherry Sievewright

The incidence of Lyme disease in some areas of Wisconsin, U.S.A. has more than tripled since 1991(Hoang-Johnson 2010). Tick abundance and the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi in questing ticks are essential components of risk assessment for Lyme disease borreliosis. Published surveys completed overseas in various countries (Germany, Japan, China, Norway) have shown prevalence rates of Borrelia spp. infection ranging from about 30-40% in adult Ixodes spp.
