What Is Anaplasmosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Fever
Our bodies do not like it when unwelcome intruders are in our bodies. This makes sense, after all the wrong type of intruder can make us extremely ill. Because many pathogens struggle to thrive when their environment is too warm, our bodies take advantage by making our bodies warmer than usual.
This is commonly known as a fever, which is a symptom of anaplasmosis, as are chills. The patient can also experience aching joints and muscles, which is the by-product of another of our defense systems. Headaches are also common, and a small number of people will also develop a rash.
