A 54-year-old male patient was admitted through emergency with recent onset of productive cough with hemoptysis and fever which was gradually increasing since the previous 3 days. He also had a small chest wound just under his right nipple.

متن کاملHuman Granulocytic Anaplasmosis, Japan
We retrospectively confirmed 2 cases of human Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection. Patient blood samples contained unique p44/msp2 for the pathogen, and antibodies bound to A. phagocytophilum antigens propagated in THP-1 rather than HL60 cells. Unless both cell lines are used for serodiagnosis of rickettsiosis-like infections, cases of human granulocytic anaplasmosis could go undetected.
متن کاملA case of Sweet syndrome associated with human granulocytic anaplasmosis.
BACKGROUND Acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, or Sweet syndrome (SS), is a condition that is presumed to be triggered by infectious disease agents. We report a case of SS associated with human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), which is of interest because Anaplasma phagocytophilum infects, multiplies in, and disrupts the function of neutrophils, the key infiltrating cell in SS. OBSERVATION...
متن کاملFirst case of human granulocytic anaplasmosis from Slovakia.
In order to evaluate the potential risks of human granulocytic anaplasmosis in Slovakia, blood and serum samples of hunters and foresters from the northern parth of Slovakia were tested. We present the first case of HGA from Slovakia confirmed by nested PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene fragment of A. phagocytophilum.
