The symptoms of chills, headache, muscle pain, nausea, lethargy, and rash are common to both Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia chaffeensis, so Amy's healthcare provider likely provided information about both diseases. Shigella and dysentery are not transmitted through tick bites, and Streptococcus pyogenes typically causes symptoms specific to strep throat, such as a sore throat and fever.
