Babesia is a malaria-like protozoan parasite spread by Ixodes ticks primarily from the white-footed deer mouse to humans. Typically it causes subclinical disease, but occasionally causes acute febrile disease with hepatosplenomegaly. We report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture of a 56-yr-old man with acute Babesia microti infection.
巴贝斯虫是一种类似疟疾的原生动物寄生虫，主要通过硬蜱从白足鹿鼠传播给人类。通常它会引起亚临床疾病，但偶尔也会导致伴有肝脾肿大的急性发热性疾病。我们报告一例56岁男性急性微小巴贝斯虫感染并发自发性脾破裂的病例。
