Ehrlichiosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Ehrlichiosis is an infection transmitted mainly by the bite of ticks, caused by bacteria that affect certain cells of the blood. It belongs to the group of diseases contracted by contact with these parasites in rural or vegetated areas.
Common symptoms:
- Fever and chills
- Headache and muscle pain
- Marked tiredness
When it is worth consulting: If the symptoms appear after a tick bite or after being in areas where they live, it is worthwhile for a professional to evaluate the condition to guide its workup.
Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist is the one suited, since it is an infectious disease, and the internist can accompany the comprehensive evaluation of the patient. Mentioning the history of exposure to ticks to a doctor helps steer the case correctly.
