Intraleukocytic inclusion bodies of ehrlichia species are visible in buffy-coat smears from a 13-year-old girl with fever, encephalitis, neutropenia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (x1000). The arrows in Panel A and Panel B show the classic mulberry-like structures, or morulae; the arrow in Panel C shows an immature inclusion body. The patient had been bitten by ticks on a recent trip to Arkansas. The diagnosis of ehrlichiosis was made on the basis of these smears and later confirmed by serologic studies.
