title: Human ehrlichiosis in Florida.
abstract: Human ehrlichiosis has been relatively recently identified in the United States. We report a case of human ehrlichiosis recently diagnosed in Jacksonville. A high index of suspicion in an appropriate clinical setting is needed to make this diagnosis. This disease is most often confirmed by serologic tests. Patients benefit from antimicrobial therapy.
