Thrombocytopenia in a mouse model of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis.
Despite its apparently strict granulocytotropism, thrombocytopenia is a consistent hallmark of infection with the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), regardless of host species. Laboratory mice are valuable models of HGE agent infection kinetics and immunity, but initial studies of HGE infection in mouse models have failed to demonstrate thrombocytopenia. More thorough analysis of p...

Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 9, No. 11, November 2003 1499 R. conorii) (9,10). Higher reciprocal titers were obtained against R. akari antigens than against R. rickettsii and R. conorii antigens (reciprocol titers of 1,024 vs. 512 and 512, respectively). We observed a difference in reduction in antibody titers against R. akari after adsorption with R. akari (Kaplan) (<1...
متن کاملSerologic Evidence of Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis, Greece
To the Editor: Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), a tickborne infectious disease, was first described in 1994 (1). Several cases have been reported in the United States; reports of acute cases in Europe have been rare, although European serosurveys of the prevalence of antibodies to the HGE agent have been conducted (2– 4). No similar serosurvey has been conducted in Greece, although Ixodes...
متن کاملConcomitant Tickborne Encephalitis and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis
We report a patient with febrile illness and epidemiologic and clinical findings consistent with human granulocytic ehrlichiosis and tickborne encephalitis, in whom infection with Anaplasma phagocytophilum was demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction and seroconversion. Tickborne encephalitis virus infection was established by serum immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG antibodies.
متن کاملOutcomes of Treated Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis Cases
We conducted a case-control study in Wisconsin to determine whether some patients have long-term adverse health outcomes after antibiotic treatment for human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). A standardized health status questionnaire was administered to patients and controls matched by age group and sex. Consenting patients provided blood samples for serologic testing. Among the 85 previously t...
