Current management of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human monocytic ehrlichiosis and Ehrlichia ewingii ehrlichiosis. [Journal Article]
Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther 2009 Aug; 7(6):709-22.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii are emerging tick-borne pathogens and are the causative agents of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, human monocytic ehrlichiosis and E. ewingii ehrlichiosis, respectively. Collectively, these are referred to as human ehrlichioses.

These obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens of the family Anaplasmataceae are transmitted by Ixodes spp. or Amblyomma americanum ticks and infect peripherally circulating leukocytes to cause infections that range in clinical spectra from asymptomatic seroconversion to mild, severe or, in rare instances, fatal disease.

This review describes: the ecology of each pathogen; the epidemiology, clinical signs and symptoms of the human diseases that each causes; the choice methods for diagnosing and treating human ehrlichioses; recommendations for patient management; and is concluded with suggestions for potential future research.

Oh goodie!

Ho Ho Hopkins (and an IDSA author at that) wants to share their "CHOICE" methods for treating Erick and also.... "recommendations for patient management".

Oh wow!

Aren't they just sugar and spice? I can't wait to see the whole study.

My bird cage needs cleaning and a fresh new floor covering. This will be perfect!

[lol]

Thanks for making me giggle little girly.

HA!

Mass said.. "How about putting the IDSA on the bottom of the cage ?"

[lol]

I would except my birds threatened me last time I mentioned doing that!

They are totally unhappy that the IDSA Guidelines were in there already, boy did that get messed on fast... and did I get chewed out.. whew!

And they were totally freaked that I was going to put some pics of Bumsteere and the butt-kissing gang in there.

They actually threatened to sneak out and eat all my ice cream if I did that. And them there is fighting words to me!

So I best not push my luck.
