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.

Cytologic patterns of lymphadenopathy in canine monocytic ehrlichiosis

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2011
Background: Recognition of different cytologic patterns in lymph nodes (LNs) from dogs with canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) and noninfectious causes of lymphoid reactivity may have diagnostic utility.Objectives: The aims of the present study were to compare cytologic patterns in LNs of dogs with different phases of CME, to investigate the ...

Outbreak of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis in Saudi Arabia

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2007
Background: Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a widespread tickborne infection of canids caused by Ehrlichia canis, a gram‐negative obligatory intracellular bacteria belonging to the family Anaplasmataceae. CME is reported to have worldwide distribution, but its presence in a region requires the presence of the vector, the brown tick ...

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.

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.

A case of acute monocytic ehrlichiosis with prominent neurologic signs

Neurology, 1997
Human monocytic ehrlichiosis is a recently described tick-borne infection with the rickettsial organism Ehrlichia chaffeensis. We describe a patient with documented E chaffeensis infection and multiple organ system involvement. Prominent neurologic symptoms and signs included severe headache, meningismus, and altered mental status.

An update on the treatment of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia canis)

The Veterinary Journal, 2019
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME), caused by Ehrlichia canis, a gram-negative, obligate intracellular bacterium, is a tick-borne disease of worldwide distribution. Experimentally, the course of E. canis infection can be sequentially divided into acute, subclinical and chronic phases, although distinction of these phases is challenging in the clinical

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 ...

Evaluation of neutrophil oxidative metabolism in canine monocytic ehrlichiosis

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2005
Background: Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a tick‐borne disease caused by Ehrlichia canis, a rickettsia that infects the monocytes of dogs. This infection can result in a chronic and life‐threatening disease. Thrombocytopenia, mild anemia, and leukopenia are the most common hematologic findings in CME.
