What Is Anaplasmosis?

10. Treatment
The treatment for anaplasmosis tends to involve antibiotics. If the condition is caught early then antibiotics should be enough to kill the bacteria, curing the patient. It might take a few weeks for the symptoms to disappear but, once they do, they should not return.
If diagnosis and treatment come later, however, then the disease can be a lot harder to defeat. For more serious cases, an intravenous drip containing antibiotics may be necessary. If the condition is serious enough then intensive care may be necessary. Anaplasmosis can be fatal in some cases, so it should be treated as a serious condition the moment it is diagnosed, regardless of how otherwise healthy the patient is.
