Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), previously known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilia, also called anaplasmosis, transmitted by the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis).
Krause (director of infectious disease at Connecticut Children's Medical Center) and Andrew Spielman (director of tropical medicine at Harvard University School of Public Health), evaluated recurrent and chronic cases of Lyme disease within a population endemic for Borrelia burgdorferi, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and Babesia microti, pathogens carried by the common deer tick.
