http://www.ehendrick.org/healthy/000463.htm

Extractions: Resources Ehrlichiosis is a bacterial infection that is spread by ticks. Symptoms include fever , chills, headache , muscle aches, and tiredness. Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by infection with Ehrlichia bacteria. Ticks are small, blood-sucking arachnids. Although some ticks carry disease-causing organisms, most do not. When an animal or person is bitten by a tick that carries bacteria, the bacteria are passed to that person or animal during the tick's feeding process. It is believed that the tick must remain attached to the person or animal for at least 24 hours to spread the infection. There are two forms of ehrlichiosis in the United States; human monocytic ehrlichiosis and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis. Monocytic ehrlichiosis is caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis , which is spread by the Lone Star tick, Amblyomma americanum . As of early 1998, about 400 cases of monocytic ehrlichiosis had been reported in 30 states, primarily in the southeastern and south central United States. The bacteria that causes granulocytic ehrlichiosis is not known, but suspected to be either Ehrlichia equi or Ehrlichia phagocytophila . Granulocytic ehrlichiosis is probably spread by the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis (which also spreads Lyme disease ). About 100 cases of granulocytic ehrlichiosis have been reported in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Minnesota, New York, and Wisconsin.

Extractions: Colorado Tick Fever ... Support STOP Ehrlichiosis describes several tick-borne bacterial infections originally known to only affect dogs and livestock in the United States, although human disease has been reported in the Far East since the 1950s. Since the mid-1980s, however, bacteria of the genus Ehrlichia have increasingly infected humans in the United States. In June 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began listing ehrlichiosis as a reportable disease ( see surveillance criteria ); 302 cases were reported in 1999. Ehrlichia bacteria live inside the cells of infected individuals and cause two major diseases in the U.S. human population. Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) occurs when the bacteria infect granulocytes, specific cells involved in immune responses and allergies. Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) occurs when a different Ehrlichia species infects macrophages, another type of immune cell.

Extractions: DESCRIPTION: A life-threatening disease, transmitted by ticks, occurring as two distinct clinical entities: HME (Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis) and HGE (Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis). HME occurs primarily in the south-central, southeastern, and mid-Atlantic regions in the U.S. and in Europe and Africa and is transmitted by the Lone Star tick (Amblyomma americanum), while HGE occurs in the upper midwest and northeastern states and is transmitted by ticks of the genus Ixodes. Patients present 1-3 weeks after tick bite with fever, headache, myalgia and other non-specific complaints. Treatment should begin if tick bite is suspected and especially if leukopenia and thrombocytopenia are found. Serologic confirmation is possible during convalescence if antibodies to E. chaffeensis are found.

Extractions: Clinical Name: Ehrlichiosis, Ehrlichia Dogs get ehrlichiosis from the brown dog tick, which passes an Ehrlichia Ehrlichia organism, the third and most serious stage of infection, the chronic phase, will commence. Lameness, neurological and ophthalmic disorders, kidney disease, and anemia and other blood disorders can result. Chronic ehrlichiosis can be fatal. Antibiotics, administered for an extended period of time, are effective at eliminating the infection. Dogs with severe cases of chronic ehrlichiosis cannot be cured, but supportive care and treatment of diseases secondary to the infection, such as anemia, can help stabilize the dog. The acute stage of the disease, occurring most often in the spring and summer, begins one to three weeks after infection and lasts for two to four weeks. Clinical signs include a fever, petechiae, bleeding disorders, and vasculitis. There are no outward signs of the subclinical phase, which can last for up to five years. Clinical signs of the chronic phase include pale gums due to anemia, thrombocytopenia, vasculitis, lymphadenopathy, respiratory dyspnea, coughing, polyuria, polydipsia, lameness, ophthalmic diseases such as retinal hemorrhage and anterior uveitis, and neurological disease. Diagnosis is achieved most commonly by serologic testing of the blood for the presence of antibodies against the Ehrlichia organism. During the acute phase of infection, however, the test can be falsely negative because the body will not have had time to make antibodies to the infection. Thus, the test will need to be repeated if the first result is negative. In addition, blood tests will show abnormalities in the numbers of red cells, white cells, and platelets. Uncommonly, a diagnosis can be made by looking under a microscope at a blood smear for the presence of the

Extractions: Home Medical Reference Patient Education Ehrlichiosis refers to several diseases caused by very small organisms called Ehrlichieae that affect both humans and animals. Ehrlichieae are known as gram negative bacteria, which infect and destroy white blood cells. Two human diseases are caused by varieties of Ehrlichieae found in the US. Human monocyte ehrlichiosis (HME) infects white cells known as monocytes. In 1986, HME was the first of the two diseases to be identified in humans. It is caused by the bacterium Ehrlichia chaffeensis and is carried by the Lone-Star tick, found primarily in the south-central and southeastern US. Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) infects granulocyte white blood cells. It is more likely than HME to be carried by adult Ixodes ticks and so is most often found northeastern and upper Midwestern states. Both forms have been reported in Europe. In fact, a Swedish study reported an almost equal prevalence of ehrlichiosis and Lyme disease in one population group. HME has also been reported in Africa. In the US, ehrlichiosis is not yet required to be reported to the Centers for Disease Control, so the true incidence of either form (HGE or HME) is unknown. Between 1986 and 1997, however, 1,223 cases were reported to 30 state health departments that routinely collected information on ehrlichiosis (742 HME, 449 HGE, and 32 not ascribed to either disease). Some studies indicate that men in their middle to late years are most likely to be infected with either form of ehrlichiosis.

Extractions: Home Medical Reference Outdoor Health / Safety Ehrlichiosis Human ehrlichiosis (there is also a canine form) is present in two forms, one caused by a rickettsial organism known as Ehrlichia chaffeensis , which is spread by Amblyomma americanum tick bites, and the other caused by the rickettsial organisms E. phagocytophila and E. equi , spread by Ixodes tick bites. Infection is usually acquired by a person who inhabits a rural environment. The average incubation period after a bite is approximately seven to 10 days. The victims, who are more commonly middle-aged adults than children and young adults, complain of a flulike syndrome with high fever , chills, fatigue headache muscle aches vomiting , and a variety of skin rashes, which can be punctate, bumpy, like tiny bruises, or broad and reddened. A victim often has decreased counts of various types of blood cells, as well as liver dysfunction. The treatment is tetracycline 500 milligrams four times a day, or doxycycline 100 milligrams twice a day, for 10 days. The few children who have been diagnosed with ehrlichiosis have been treated with doxycycline 3 milligrams per kilogram body weight in two divided doses per day. Untreated or treated after a delay in diagnosis, up to 15% of victims can develop severe infections, kidney failure, bleeding disorders, seizures, and/or coma.

Extractions: Human Ehrlichiosis There are two distinct forms of illness recognized: human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME), caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis , and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), caused by an agent similar or identical to the veterinary pathogens E. equi and E. phagocytophila. Ehrlichiae are bacteria that primarily invade leukocytes (white blood cells). The bacteria is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks, which acquire the agents after feeding on infected animal reservoirs. Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum ticks are capable of transmitting this disease in Michigan. Symptoms: in white blood cell Fever Headache Malaise and muscle aches. Other signs may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, joint pain, confusion, and occasionally, a rash. HGE has not yet been found in Michigan but it has been diagnosed in patients in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Also, HME is occasionally reported in Indiana. Because the vector Ixodes scapularis is found in Michigan and the states close proximity to the state of Wisconsin, the emergence of this disease is being closely monitored in Michigan.
