What Is Anaplasmosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
8. Complications
Anaplasmosis can cause some very unpleasant symptoms in some people. In some instances, it can even be a dangerous disease that can threaten the patient’s life. In some cases, for example, the disease can go on to cause kidney failure. It doesn’t get better as heart failure is also a possibility, as is respiratory failure, which would render the patient struggling to breathe.
Some patients will also experience excess bleeding, while septic shock is another possibility. Seizures will occur in some cases, and a small number of patients will go into a coma. Such symptoms are rare and will only usually occur in people that are old and/or already suffering from health conditions.
