Bayesian spatio-temporal analysis and geospatial risk factors of human monocytic ehrlichiosis. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 Variations in spatio-temporal patterns of Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME) infection in the state of Kansas, USA were examined and the relationship between HME relative risk and various environmental, climatic and socio-economic variables were evaluated.

Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis, Mexico City, Mexico. [PDF]
Emerg Infect Dis, 2020 Little information is available about human infections by the members of the genus Ehrlichia in Mexico. Only 2 species, Ehrlichia canis and E. chaffensis, are known to cause disease in this country. We report a fatal case of human monocytic ehrlichiosis in Mexico City in a man who was homeless.

Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis Associated With Myocarditis and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. [PDF]
JACC Case Rep, 2020 We present 3 cases at a single institution of human monocytic ehrlichiosis resulting in myocarditis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Contrary to previously published studies in which case fatalities were only as high as 1%, 2 of the 3 patients we discuss experienced a fulminant course resulting in death despite appropriate doxycycline treatment.

Large-scale health disparities associated with Lyme disease and human monocytic ehrlichiosis in the United States, 2007-2013. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Promoting health equity is a fundamental public health objective, yet health disparities remain largely overlooked in studies of vectorborne diseases, especially those transmitted by ticks.

Human monocytic ehrlichiosis complicated by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and multi-organ dysfunction syndrome. [PDF]
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis, 2016 Human monocytic ehrlichiosis can manifest as a disease causing multi-organ failure. Rarely, it can cause secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment for both ehrlichiosis and HLH is lifesaving. Therefore, clinical suspicion of HLH must remain high in the setting of an ehrlichiosis infection.

Current management of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human monocytic ehrlichiosis and Ehrlichia ewingii ehrlichiosis. [PDF]
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther, 2009 Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii are emerging tick-borne pathogens and are the causative agents of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human monocytic ehrlichiosis and E. ewingii ehrlichiosis, respectively. Collectively, these are referred to as human ehrlichioses.

Successful Treatment of Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis with Rifampin. [PDF]
Cureus, 2016 Currently recommended treatment regimens for human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) include doxycycline or tetracycline. Antibiotic susceptibility studies demonstrate that rifampin has in vitro bactericidal activity against Ehrlichia. Case reports have suggested clinical response with rifampin treatment of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA).

A case of human monocytic ehrlichiosis in Serbia [PDF]
Srpski arhiv za celokupno lekarstvo, 2014 Introduction. Ehrlichiosis is a bacterial zoonosis transmitted by hematophagous arthropods - ticks. In humans, it occurs as monocytic, granulocytic, and ewingii ehrlichiosis. Pathological process is based on parasitic presence of Ehrlichia organisms within peripheral blood cells - monocytes and granulocytes. Case Outline. Fifty-two year old

Multiorgan failure related to human monocytic ehrlichiosis. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2013 Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) is a tick-born disease that presents predominantly as a mild to moderate acute illness. Severe life-threatening disease has been reported with a case death rate of approximately 3%, often in immunosuppressed persons. A delay in therapy initiation has been proven to increase the morbidity of the disease.
