Tests that measure Ehrlichia chaffeensis

Tick-borne Disease Acute Molecular Panel

Laboratory
Quest Diagnostics
Test code
94322
Specimen
Blood
Fasting
Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Persons infected with Borrelia miyamotoi most likely have fever, joint pains, fatigue, and headache, though unlike Lyme disease, rash is uncommon.The diagnosis of Borrelia miyamotoi is most often made by history and clinical examination combined with exposure in endemic areas. Amplification of B. miyamotoi genomic DNA from blood, fluids or tissues confirms the diagnosis.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia chaffeensis Antibody Panel

Laboratory
Quest Diagnostics
Test code
10611
Specimen
Serum
Fasting
Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia chaffeensis are tick-borne agents that cause an acute febrile illness, which often resembles Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Tick-Borne Disease Antibody Panel

Laboratory
Quest Diagnostics
Test code
36942
Specimen
Serum
Fasting
Not stated as required

What the laboratory says this test is for

There is substantial clinical overlap among tick-borne diseases caused by Anaplasma, Babesia, Borrelia, and Ehrlichia. Some infections can progress to severe complications such as anemia, hepatitis and pneumonia.. More than one infectious agent may be transmitted by the same tick, and rates of co-infection are not well defined since clinicians may only suspect a single tick-borne disease etiology.
