Epidemiology
- tripled 2004-2016[6]; doubled 2005-2018[7]
- Lyme disease culprit in 82% of tick borne infections[6]
Laboratory
- serology for rickettsial spp is often negative in the acute phase of the disease
- if Ehrlichia or Anaplasma is suspected, Ehrlichia DNA & Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA is sensitive in early phases of the disease
