    Information on Ehrlichiosis Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Screening and Imaging

    The Japanese form of ehrlichosis (Sennetsu fever) resembles mononucleosis with sore throat, increased lymphocytes, and enlarged lymph nodes of the neck. Human ehrlichosis in the USA must be distinguished from Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but rash is rare in ehrlichosis. Ticks are the vectors for the two varieties of American ehrlichosis. [Chin, p. 181-3] Initial symptoms may include cough and confusion. Seizures and coma may occur in severe cases. Immunosuppression is a risk factor for severe disease. [CDC]

    7-21 days (American ehrlichosis)
