Infections with Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii in persons coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus.
The clinical course and laboratory evaluation of 21 patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Ehrlichia chaffeensis or Ehrlichia ewingii are reviewed and summarized, including 13 cases of ehrlichiosis caused by E. chaffeensis, 4 caused by E. ewingii, and 4 caused by either E. chaffeensis or E. ewingii. Twenty patients were male, and the median CD4(+) T lymphocyte count was...
متن کاملEvaluation of antibiotic susceptibilities of Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum by real-time PCR.
We determined MICs of antibiotics against Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, and Ehrlichia canis by real-time quantitative PCR. The doubling times of the organisms were established: 19 h for E. chaffeensis, 26 h for A. phagocytophilum, and 28 h for E. canis. In comparison to the reference method for determining sensitivities, which uses Diff-Quick staining, our PCR assay was very...
متن کاملPredominance of Ehrlichia ewingii in Missouri dogs.
To investigate the species distribution of Ehrlichia present in Missouri dogs, we tested 78 dogs suspected of having acute ehrlichiosis and 10 healthy dogs. Blood from each dog was screened with a broad-range 16S rRNA gene PCR assay that detects known pathogenic species of Ehrlichia and ANAPLASMA: The species was determined by using species-specific PCR assays and nucleotide sequencing. Ehrlich...
متن کاملPrevalence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii in ticks from Tennessee.
Human ehrlichiosis is the second most common tick-borne disease reported in Tennessee after Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Two closely related ehrlichiae, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii, are both causative agents of human disease and are transmitted by Amblyomma americanum, the lone star tick. Prevalence rates and distribution patterns of these pathogens among ticks in Tennessee are...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Ehrlichia canis.
The ultrastructure of Ehrlichia canis was examined in both pulmonary mononuclear cells and in monocytes cultured from an infected dog. The cytoplasmic inclusions, or morulae, of E. canis consisted of a membrane-lined vacuole-containing elementary bodies which varied in size and number. The elementary bodies were bound by two trilamellar membranes. The organism shared morphological properties of...
