Abstract
- Ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are rising tickborne infections posing significant risks to solid-organ transplant (SOT) patients. We present three cases highlighting clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and the benefits of microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) sequencing. Emphasizing early diagnosis and preventive measures, we advocate for advanced diagnostic modalities to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
