Respiratory Failure
Respiratory failure is a serious but potential complication of anaplasmosis that can be fatal without immediate medical attention. In addition to this happening when management is delayed, patients with compromised immune systems may experience severe complications from the tick-borne illness.
Individuals with HIV/AIDS, cancer or organ transplants might need additional management for the bacterial infection, such as hospitalization, extra fluids via IV and breathing support. Additionally, some patients require kidney dialysis to recover completely.
