Patients with Ehrlichiosis will often display a fever and myalgia, along with heightened blood pressure and an increase heart rate. Some populations of patients have displayed a mauculopapular rash which is often indicative of an HME infection. It is important for the physician to differentiate between different Ehrlichiosis infection agents since certain strains of Ehrlichiae result in a higher degree of infection severity. | |||
