Ehrlichiosis: findings on chest radiographs in three pediatric patients

LA Fordham, CJ Chung, BB Specter, DF Merten and DL Ingram
Department of Radiology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill 27599-7510, USA.

OBJECTIVES: Ehrlichiosis is a newly recognized tick-borne infection affecting both children and adults. The disease is usually mild, with flulike symptoms, but can be fatal. We present the chest radiographs and, in one case, the chest CT scan of all recognized pediatric cases of ehrlichiosis to date from our institution. CONCLUSION: Ehrlichiosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of acutely ill pediatric patients with a history of possible tick exposure and radiographic patterns of interstitial prominence, alveolar opacities, or consolidation that may be associated with pleural effusion.
