Serologic Evidence of Human Monocytic and Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis in Israel [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
We conducted a retrospective serosurvey of 1,000 persons in Israel who had fever of undetermined cause to look for Ehrlichia chaffeensis antibodies. Four of five cases with antibodies reactive to E. chaffeensis were diagnosed in the summer, when ticks are more active. All patients had influenzalike symptoms with high fever. None of the cases was fatal.
