Abstract
A case of human ehrlichiosis is presented. This case review emphasizes the need for a thorough history and physical examination in all patients who present with relatively non-specific complaints such as headaches, chills, myalgias, and arthralgias. These complaints should elicit the question of recent tick exposure from the clinician, particularly if the area is endemic for various rickettsial diseases. Laboratory findings such as leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and increased hepatic enzymes should strongly suggest the disease.
