Abstract

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an intracellular pathogen transmitted by hard ticks. We report a patient who had acquired the infection in Connecticut, USA, and was diagnosed in Vienna, Austria, using PCR methods. Imported HGA from the United States to Austria is a rare event.

Keywords: Anaplasma phagocytophilum; HGA; Human granulocytic anaplasmosis; PCR; Tick; Tick-borne disease.
