Ehrlichiosis in lung transplant (LT) recipients is associated with severe outcomes. Ehrlichia ewingii is a less frequent cause of symptomatic ehrlichiosis, characterized by cytoplasmic inclusions (morulae) within circulating neutrophils. We report a case of E. ewingii infection in an LT recipient diagnosed promptly by blood smear exam and confirmed with molecular studies.
肺移植（LT）受者感染埃立克体病与严重后果相关。尤因埃立克体是症状性埃立克体病较不常见的病因，其特征为循环中性粒细胞内有细胞质包涵体（桑葚体）。我们报告1例LT受者感染尤因埃立克体的病例，该病例通过血涂片检查迅速确诊，并经分子研究得以证实。
