About the report In the present report, researchers highlighted the evolving AGS emergence, which can help local and state health agencies launch national surveillance efforts to aid public health decision-making, geographically target high-risk populations for public health outreach, improve community awareness about tick bite prevention to minimize AGS acquisition risk and provide healthcare provider education for more timely diagnosis and treatment.
Since no information was available to correlate positive reports with clinical signs and symptoms of AGS, all cases with positive test reports were considered suspected. In total, 90,018 individuals received positive test reports, and the number of positive individuals rose from 13,371 to 18,885 within four years.
