Tick-borne illnesses are increasing but are often underreported. Few cases of babesiosis have been reported from Pennsylvania. Our 4-hospital system in southeastern Pennsylvania saw a rise in cases from 7 or fewer yearly in 2008-2014 to 26 cases in 2015. There appear to be multiple potential causes of this increase in frequency.
蜱传疾病正在增加,但往往报告不足。宾夕法尼亚州报告的巴贝斯虫病病例很少。我们位于宾夕法尼亚州东南部的四所医院系统中,病例数从2008 - 2014年每年7例或更少增加到2015年的26例。这种发病率增加似乎有多种潜在原因。
