An Anaplasmosis Test checks for a tick borne germ called Anaplasma that can cause fever, aches, and low blood counts. You may also hear it called an Anaplasma antibody test or Anaplasma PCR. If your doctor suggests testing, we can help you book at participating labs on LabFinder.
This test may be listed as Anaplasma phagocytophilum test or HGA test, which stands for human granulocytic anaplasmosis. It looks for signs of the germ in your blood or checks if your body made antibodies against it. The goal is to confirm or rule out anaplasmosis after a tick bite or when symptoms suggest it.
Common reasons: recent tick bite with fever or chills, bad headache or muscle aches after time outdoors, low white cells or platelets on a blood count that your doctor wants to explain, follow up when Lyme or other tick tests are unclear, or checking response to treatment if your doctor requests it.
You will check in, confirm your order, and sit in a draw chair. A phlebotomist cleans your arm and draws a small tube of blood. The visit usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes from arrival to finish. You may feel a quick pinch, then a small bandage is placed. Most people can return to normal plans right away.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Recent antibiotic treatment can lower the chance of detecting the germ by PCR, so tell the team about any antibiotics you took and when.
No fasting: you can eat and drink as usual unless your doctor says otherwise. Bring details: note tick exposure dates, symptom start, and any prior results. List medicines: include antibiotics and blood thinners. Stay hydrated: water helps with the draw. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the center and bring prior lab records if available.
Tick borne infections such as ehrlichiosis or Lyme disease, unexplained fever after outdoor exposure, low white cells or platelets, mild liver inflammation on a blood test, and ongoing fatigue after a suspected tick bite. Results need context. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before advising next steps.
