Jundishapur Journal of Microbiology
Huixuan Wang, Fen Huang

Abstract

Babesiosis is caused by apicomplexa parasites of the genus Babesia. Humans are commonly infected by Babesia through tick bites. There is limited information available about Babesia infection of humans in China. The aim of this study was to isolate the pathogen from a patient with severe parasitemia. Blood samples were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA), and red blood cells of bone marrow and blood smears were examined by a microscope. The patient was infected by Babesia and cured after a combined treatment. Babesia infection was detected in an individual from China.
