Doctor says cases of this deadly tick-borne virus may go undetected
A rare, untreatable tick-borne illness was identified in New York for the first time after a Long Island man survived a deadly infection.
Michael Larkin, 67, of Long Island, suffered from "debilitating fevers, headaches and night sweats" for five years after being bitten by a tick in his backyard in 2021, according to a July 1 news conference hosted by Sen. Chuck Schumer and the Stony Brook doctor who eventually diagnosed the man with Bourbon virus.
When Larkin landed in the hospital during his plight, the rare nature of the virus led to him initially being misdiagnosed with Lyme disease. However, Stony Brook Medicine doctors began looking beyond the more common diagnoses when typical treatment didn't work.
