Anaplasmosis is treatable but it can be a serious and sometimes fatal disease.
Does anaplasmosis ever go away?
With diagnosis and treatment, most people will recover from anaplasmosis with no long-term health issues. It is fatal in less than 1% of cases. People who do not seek treatment early, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems may not recover as easily. They may develop more severe symptoms or complications.
Can anaplasmosis come back after treatment?
Once gone, these symptoms don't come back. If you have severe illness, your recovery may take longer. You may need to receive antibiotics through an IV (intravenous) line at the hospital. Some people with severe anaplasmosis may need supportive care in an intensive care unit.
