RESUMO
The human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent in infected blood specimens remained viable during refrigeration at 4°C for up to 18 days. These findings suggest that blood specimens submitted for culture may withstand transportation to a remote laboratory. HGE should be added to the list of infections potentially transmitted by blood transfusion.
