HUMAN MONOCYTIC EHRLICHIOSIS: AN EMERGING PATHOGEN IN TRANSPLANTATION

Transplantation, 2001
The spectrum of disease caused by Ehrlichia spp. ranges from asymptomatic to fatal. Awareness and early diagnosis of the infection is paramount because appropriate therapy leads to rapid defervescence and cure. If left untreated, particularly in immunosuppressed patients, ehrlichioses may result in multi-system organ failure and death.We report the ...

Human monocytic ehrlichiosis in a renal transplant patient

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2006
Human ehrlichiosis is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised patients, potentially leading to increased morbidity compared to immunocompetent patients. A high index of suspicion is imperative and early treatment with doxycycline can be life-saving.

Fatal human monocytic ehrlichiosis: a case study

Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, 2011
Human ehrlichiosis is the term for a collection of tick-borne diseases caused primarily by obligate intracellular bacteria of the Ehrlichia species. Ehrlichiosis is characterized by a mild to severe illness, with approximately 3-5% of cases proving fatal despite receiving appropriate care.

Serologic diagnosis of human monocytic ehrlichiosis by immunoblot analysis

Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, 1994
Human monocytic ehrlichiosis is caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis, an intracellular bacterium probably transmitted by the tick Amblyomma americanum in the United States. Despite its lack of specificity in discriminating among infections by closely related Ehrlichia spp., immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is the most frequently used serological diagnostic ...

Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis Presenting as Febrile Diarrhea

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1997
I report a case of tick-borne ehrlichiosis in which the primary presentation suggested an infectious diarrhea, with impressive leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Ehrlichiosis must be included in the differential diagnosis of febrile diarrhea in endemic areas because delay in therapy allows complications and sometimes death.

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012
To the Editor,Ehrlichia are rickettsial-like organisms and are obligate intracellular parasites that affect the white blood cells (WBCs), i.e., macrophages, granulocytes, and lymphocytes.

Serum cardiac troponin I concentrations in naturally occurring myelosuppressive and non-myelosuppressive canine monocytic ehrlichiosis

Veterinary Journal, 2012
The aim of this study was to determine whether serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration measured on admission was associated with the clinical severity of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis and was predictive of clinical outcome (death or survival) in ...
