Abstract

Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis bacterial infections can manifest with atypical and severe symptoms in immunocompromised patients. We report a fatal case of severe ehrlichiosis caused by E. muris eauclairensis in a liver transplant recipient in Minnesota, USA. Healthcare providers must remain vigilant about tickborne infections in endemic regions, especially among immunocompromised patients.
