  • EGA - Equine Granulocytic Anaplasmosis

    This is a tick-borne disease, bloodwork would show thrombocytopenia, decreased PCV and leukopenia (since the case didn't have a change in WBC count this isn't likely)

    Increased basophils, mild neutrophilia, and possible anemia: parasitic infection


    Marked basophilia (histamine release and chronic inflammation), neutrophilia (could be secondary infection),no change in lymphocytes: allergic reaction?
