Talk:Ehrlichiosis (canine)

message: Ehrlichiosis Induced TTP Mimic has recently been created, but is wrongly capitalised, poorly phrased title and discussion of low platelets/purpura as it occurs in this condition should be in Ehrlichiosis article not a separate comparison article. 
* Firstly this is wrongly titled as generally only the first word should be capitalised, hence Ehrlichiosis induced TTP mimic, secondly poor phrasing vs perhaps Ehrlichiosis mimicry of TTP - but that still leaves a title having an abbreviation.
* The information in that article should be under the condition, ie within Ehrlichiosis. We do not have costochriditis mistaken for myocardial infarction, yet plenty of patients do present to their GP or A&E terrified they might be having a heart problem with the severe pain being experienced. We generally have just single article for each problem rather than disease comparisions. Likewise MIs and costochondritis are on a list of differentials for chest pain that may also include pleurisy and pneumothorax, and we don't have Pleurisy mimic of MI, Pneumothorax mimicry of pleurisy and all the other combinations of comparisons.

replies: text: UpToDate has its ehrlichiosis article under "human ehrlichiosis" so I agree with above.  However, ehrlichiosis should redirect to the human condition, not the canine entity.  Andrew73 16:48, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge from Ehrlickiosis

message: I've renamed this to "ehrlichiosis (canine)" since the content of the article refers mainly to the canine variety.  Alas, the article on the human condition could stand some beefing up, in comparison to the dog one.  Andrew73 21:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So is Human granulocytic anaplasmosis now considered to be the human ehrlichiosis article?  If it is, we should have a dab statement at the top of this article.  --Joelmills 23:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I would consider HGA to be a subset of human ehrlichiosis.  Perhaps there should be a separate article, ehrlichiosis (human), given that the dog variety was described first.  To make matters more complicated, there's also human monocytic ehrlichiosis, which is clinically similar to HGA, but caused by a different organism.  Andrew73 02:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

text: It's not like we took an article on human ehrlichiosis and turned it into one on dogs; there's never been a decent human one.  The closest one is Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, but I don't know if that is the only type of human ehrlichiosis.  There should be a dab statement at the top of the article, though, which I'll take care of now.  --Joelmills 23:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess there is also human monocytic ehrlichiosis, but there is no article on that. --Joelmills 23:24, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: As I just stated above, the article on human ehrlichiosis is at Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, so you can actually add those things there yourself.  However, as I also stated above, there is no article on human monocytic ehrlichiosis.  --Joelmills 23:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Humans 

message: There is also an article on Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis.
This article could be merged with, or at least be disambiguated
from and refer this other article. Thomas.Hedden (talk) 19:48, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggest merge with article on [[Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis]]

message: Since the article's 2006 creation, it has said, "Treatment for ehrlichiosis involves the use of antibiotics such as tetracycline or doxycycline for a period of at least six to eight weeks..."
Is there a source for the "six to eight weeks" part of that statement? NCdave (talk) 14:50, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: My friend's 12yo ~20 kg dog is currently being treated for severe chronic Canine Ehrlichiosis with four weeks of minocycline, 200 mg twice daily. It was touch and go at first, but two weeks into the treatment he's responding wonderfully. NCdave (talk) 12:41, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
