Western blot analysis of sera reactive to human monocytic ehrlichiosis and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis agents.
Laboratory diagnosis of human ehrlichioses is routinely made by an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using cultured ehrlichia-infected whole cells as antigen. Concern has been raised that incorrect diagnoses of human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) may be made on the basis of serologic cross-reactivity between Ehrlichia chaffeensis and the agent of HG...
متن کاملSerologic evidence of human monocytic and granulocytic ehrlichiosis in Israel.
We conducted a retrospective serosurvey of 1,000 persons in Israel who had fever of undetermined cause to look for Ehrlichia chaffeensis antibodies. Four of five cases with antibodies reactive to E. chaffeensis were diagnosed in the summer, when ticks are more active. All patients had influenzalike symptoms with high fever. None of the cases was fatal. Three serum samples were also seroreactive...
متن کاملHuman monocytic ehrlichiosis in children.
BACKGROUND Much of what is known about human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) is based upon studies with adult patients. PURPOSE To review our experience with HME to better understand the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and outcome of this disease in children. METHODS Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were gathered after review of the medical records of patients identified with ...

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 کاملMonocytic differentiation inhibits infection and granulocytic differentiation potentiates infection by the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis.
Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) is an emerging tick-borne infection with a specific tropism for granulocytes. We previously isolated and cultivated the HGE agent in the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 and have also demonstrated the susceptibility of both granulocytic and monocytic human marrow progenitors. Circulating monocytes have not been observed to be infected, suggesting that...
