Abstract

The seventh documented case of babesiosis transmitted by transfusion is reported. Both the donor and the recipient are residents of Connecticut, where the presence of endemic babesiosis has only recently been established. As the range of Babesia microti, and its vector the Ixodes dammini tick, continues to expand, clinicians and blood bank directors should be aware that cases of transfusion-transmitted babesiosis may occur in newly endemic areas.

摘要

本文报告了第7例经输血传播的巴贝斯虫病病例。供血者和受血者均为康涅狄格州居民，该地区近期才确定存在地方性巴贝斯虫病。随着微小巴贝斯虫及其传播媒介达氏硬蜱的分布范围不断扩大，临床医生和血库负责人应意识到，在新出现地方性病例的地区可能会发生输血传播的巴贝斯虫病。
