Babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites that are
transmitted by ticks, or less commonly through blood transfusion or
transplacentally. Human babesiosis was first recognized in a splenectomized
patient in Europe but most cases have been reported from the northeastern and
upper midwestern United States in people with an intact spleen and no history of
immune impairment. Cases are reported in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, and
South America. Babesiosis shares many clinical features with malaria and can be
fatal, particularly in the elderly and the immunocompromised.
