Neoehrlichiosis in Symptomatic Immunocompetent Child, South Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 29, No. 2, Year 2023

We describe a case of neoehrlichiosis in an immunocompetent child with acute febrile illness in South Africa. Neoehrlichiosis was diagnosed by PCR on 16S rDNA from bone marrow aspirate. Phylogenetic analysis indicated an organism closely related to Candidatus Neoehrlichia. Clinicians should be aware of possible ehrlichiosis even in immunocompetent patients.
