human monocytic ehrlichiosis

ehrlichiosis /ehr·lich·i·osis/ (ār-lik″e-o´sis) a febrile illness due to infection with bacteria of the genus Ehrlichia.

human granulocytic ehrlichiosis a sometimes fatal human ehrlichiosis caused by an Ehrlichia equi –like species, characterized by flulike symptoms and involving predominantly neutrophils.

human monocytic ehrlichiosis a sometimes fatal human ehrlichiosis caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis, characterized by flulike symptoms and involving predominantly fixed tissue mononuclear phagocytes.
