2024年5月15日 · Ehrlichiosis is the general name used to describe diseases caused by the bacteria Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. ewingii, or E. muris eauclairensis in the United States. These bacteria are spread to people primarily through the bite of infected ticks including the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum) and the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis).

Ehrlichia ewingii is a human pathogen which results in a serious infection if not treated in a timely manner. [7] Ehrlichiosis, the disease caused by E. ewingii and E. chaffeensis, presents with fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. [8] These symptoms are extremely unspecific which makes the infections difficult to diagnose. [8]

Ehrlichia ewingii was first described as a human pathogen in 1999 by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri [43]. This rare ehrlichiosis is somewhat unique.

2022年8月16日 · Ehrlichiosis (“err-lik-ee-OH-sis”) is an illness caused by the bacteria Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. ewingii or E. muris eauclairensis. You can get ehrlichiosis through the bite of infected ticks, including the lone star tick and the blacklegged tick.

2024年12月10日 · Human ehrlichiosis is a potentially fatal tickborne disease caused by 3 species: Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. ewingii, and E. muris eauclairensis. In the United States, 234 confirmed cases of E. ewingii ehrlichiosis were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System during ...

2024年5月15日 · Ehrlichiosis is the general name used to describe diseases caused by the bacteria Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. ewingii, or E. muris eauclairensis in the United States. The majority of reported cases are due to infection by E. chaffeensis. Most people get ehrlichiosis from the bite of an infected tick.

2024年10月6日 · Ehrlichia preferentially infects peripheral blood leukocytes, with E chaffeensis associated with human monocytic cells, including monocytes and macrophages, and neutrophil infections reported in E ewingii. Multiorgan involvement can occur, with organisms detected in the spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, and peripheral blood.

Ehrlichiosis ewingii infection [1] is an infectious disease caused by an intracellular bacteria, Ehrlichia ewingii. [2] The infection is transmitted to humans by the tick, Amblyomma americanum. This tick can also transmit Ehrlichia chaffeensis, the bacteria that causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME).

2025年1月9日 · Explore the transmission, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies of Ehrlichia ewingii, focusing on its genetic traits and diagnostic approaches. Ehrlichia ewingii is a bacterium responsible for ehrlichiosis, an emerging tick-borne disease affecting humans and animals.

2024年5月15日 · Early recognition and prompt treatment with doxycycline is critical. Ehrlichiosis can be identified by tests including serology, polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, culture, and blood-smear microscopy.
