Many patients with ehrlichiosis are admitted to the hospital for treatment
There are two forms of ehrlichiosis in the United States; human monocytic ehrlichiosis and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis
Treatment with either tetracycline (Sumycin, Achromycin V) or doxycycline (Monodox, Vibramycin) is recommended
Monocytic ehrlichiosis is caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis
Granulocytic ehrlichiosis is probably spread by the blacklegged tick Ixodes scapularis
