Clinical Significance
Anaplasma phagocytophilum and E.chaffeensis Antibody Panel Reflex to Titers - This panel is for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia chaffeensis. Anaplasmosis (human granulocytic anaplasmosis) and Ehrlichiosis (human monocytic ehrlichiosis) are tickborne diseases caused by transmission of the bacteria via the bite of an infected tick. Anaplasmosis is most common in the Northeastern and upper Midwestern United States. Ehrlichiosis is most common in the eastern, southeastern and south-central United States.
Testing for tickborne disease is based on a clinical evaluation and risk of tick exposure with consideration ...
