Wikipedia
says “Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a tick-borne, infectious disease
caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum,
an obligate intracellular bacterium that is typically transmitted to humans by
ticks of the Ixodes ricinus species complex, including Ixodes scapularis and
Ixodes pacificus in North America. These ticks also transmit Lyme disease and
other tick-borne diseases.”

says a lot more – you can read it

Someone
reported having had a case of this on the Facebook
Hematology Interest Group page. Would I recognise it if I saw it… I hope
so.
