What are the symptoms of anaplasmosis?
The majority of people with anaplasmosis experience headaches, fever, chills, and muscle aches that can be confused with common diseases such as influenza. Onset of anaplasmosis generally begins within 3 weeks (5-21days) of a tick bite. The symptoms tend to be most severe in aged and immunosuppressed people. Some individuals who become infected with A. phagocytophilum do not become ill or experience only very mild symptoms and do not seek medical treatment.
