A 5-year-old child with simultaneous early Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) is described. Because of the shared vector, HGE and Lyme disease are increasingly identified as coinfections in tick-exposed patients. Early recognition of concurrent Lyme disease and HGE is important because amoxicillin, an antibiotic of choice for young children with early Lyme disease, is ineffective for HGE.
本文描述了一名同时患有早期莱姆病和人类粒细胞埃立克体病(HGE)的5岁儿童。由于传播媒介相同,HGE和莱姆病在蜱虫叮咬患者中越来越多地被发现为合并感染。早期识别同时存在的莱姆病和HGE很重要,因为阿莫西林是早期莱姆病幼儿的首选抗生素,但对HGE无效。
