Human ehrlichiosis, whether monocytic or granulocytic, presents as a flulike illness that can be severe or even fatal. Diagnosis is often difficult and usually empiric: persistent fever and malaise, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, elevated liver enzyme levels, and tick exposure are clues. In cases treated early with doxycycline, the prognosis is good.
人类埃立克体病，无论是单核细胞型还是粒细胞型，都表现为类似流感的疾病，可能很严重甚至致命。诊断往往困难，通常是经验性的：持续发热、不适、血小板减少、白细胞减少、肝酶水平升高以及蜱虫叮咬暴露都是线索。在早期用强力霉素治疗的病例中，预后良好。
