[Text Version] 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: Ehrlichiae dividing 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 state’s close proximity to the state of Wisconsin, the emergence of this disease is being closely monitored in Michigan.

Human Ehrlichiosis Epidemiology of Human Ehrlichiosis Human ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne illness that is caused by a very small type of bacteria known as "ehrlichiae." Human ehrlichiosis is just one member of a whole group of diseases known collectively as ehrlichioses, because each is caused by a different species of the genus Ehrlichia. Taxonomically, the Ehrlichiae are in the Order Rickettsiales, genus Ehrlichia. The ehrlichiae are very closely related to the rickettsiae, which are the type of bacteria that cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) . The genus then breaks down further into a fairly large number of different species, each responsible for causing some form of ehrlichiosis, either in humans or some other mammalian species. Ehrlichiae invade, and live within white blood cells, thereby adversely affecting the immune system and lessening the body's ability to fight secondary infections. They reside in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus. Ehrlichiae are pleomorphic, meaning variable in shape here you can see a number of individual ehrlichial organisms although they are generally considered to be more spherical or ellipsoidal in shape. They have a rippled outer cell wall, and an inner plasma membrane. Although ehrlichiae are sometimes scattered singly throughout the cytoplasm, they are most frequently found clustered together as aggregates of many organisms. These clusters are berry-like in appearance and are called "morulae."

There are three stages of ehrlichiosis, each varying in severity. The acute stage, occurring several weeks after infection and lasting for up to a month, can lead to fever and disorders of the blood. The second stage, called the subclinical phase, has no outward signs and can last for up to five years. If the infected dog’s

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. Clinical Signs and Symptoms 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.

Health Department Ehrlichiosis you are here homepage health department west nile virus Ehrlichiosis Ehrlichiosis, is an acute disease of humans and animals caused by bacteria called Ehrlichia that attack white blood cells. The bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. Ehrlichiosis is found in almost any area of the United States and in many foreign countries as well. The first human case in the U.S. was reported in 1986. Since 1986, there have been as many as 13 cases reported in one year in Virginia. The Pathogen Ehrlichiae are small, gram-negative bacteria that primarily invade leukocytes (white blood cells), the same cells which fight disease by destroying microorganisms that enter the body. One type of ehrlichiosis, caused by the bacterium Ehrlichia chaffeensis, infects white blood cells called monocytes. This species of Ehrlichia has been known to exist and cause human illness for several years. A newly recognized species of Ehrlichia (not yet named) infects another type of white blood cell known as a granulocyte. Ehrlichia chaffeensis primarily infects mononuclear leukocytes

Ehrlichiosis Infection with one of several members of the genus Ehrlichia, of the Rickettsiaea family. They are essentially leukocytic small gram-negative pleomorphic cocci. Initially grouped according to the white cells infected: eg granulocytic, monocytic, but this is misleading, as they have been found in other cells, and several species have the same cell as primary target. Molecular genetics is grouping them into 3 distinct groups, but classification will require revision, as species within these groups are also related to organisms not previously considered ehrlichia. Epidemiology Causes disease in dogs, cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. Disease first identified in dogs in Algeria in 1935. Currently 4 species known to cause disease in humans, 3 in the USA, and 1 in Japan. Like rickettsial disease, ehrlichiosis is transmitted by tick bites:

M A L I N U T P A G E Meet the Malinut Frequently Asked Questions ... Write Me Canine Ehrlichiosis Background Canine Ehrlichiosis or Ehrlichia is the "up-an-coming" tick disease of the Midwest. Unfortunately, most information is learned about Erhlichiosis post mortemthat is, after one of your dogs has been affected by (often lost to) this terrible disease. The disease has two phases, acute and chronic. The acute phase occurs 1-3 weeks following tick exposure. Clinical signs of illness are pretty generic, and may include listlessness, swollen lymph nodes, anorexia, achiness, and fever. Since exposure often occurs during the end of summer, this symptoms are often missed or written off as heat sensitivity. The symptoms go away...and untreated, the dog progresses into the chronic stage a few months later. Because the acute stage of Ehrlichiosis often does respond well to treatment, it is now recommended that any Lymes-like symptoms in endemic regions be treated as possible ehrlichia. Doxycycline is the drug of choice, since it is effective against both Lymes and Ehrlichia. If there is any doubt, forego the conventional amoxicillin or tetracycline and head straight to the doxy.
