We describe a 54-year-old spleen-intact man with transfusion-associated Babesia microti infection after a heart transplant. Adult respiratory distress syndrome developed in the patient, and he required mechanical ventilation. Our experiences with this patient suggest that babesiosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of transplant patients who have fever and hemolytic anemia.
我们描述了一名54岁心脏移植后发生输血相关微小巴贝斯虫感染的脾脏完整男性。患者出现了成人呼吸窘迫综合征，需要机械通气。我们对该患者的经验表明，对于发热和溶血性贫血的移植患者，鉴别诊断时应考虑巴贝斯虫病。
