Could Ehrlichial Infection Cause Some Changes Associated with Leukemia?

This paper hypothesizes that infections by the intracellular bacteria Ehrlichia/Anaplasma (EA) may be linked to various medical conditions, including leukemia and autoimmune disorders. The authors present evidence suggesting that EA could disrupt immune cell development and function, potentially leading to these diseases, and advocate for further research into antibiotic treatments for affected patients.
