Babesiosis is an emerging infection in the state of Pennsylvania, and clinicians need to be made aware of its clinical manifestations as well as the risk factors associated with severe disease. Before 2010, our tertiary academic center in central Pennsylvania previously saw zero cases of babesiosis. We saw our first confirmed case of Babesia infection acquired in Pennsylvania in 2011; we recorded 2 confirmed cases in 2017 and 4 confirmed cases in 2018. All 4 cases from 2018 were thought to be acquired in southcentral Pennsylvania counties, whereas prior reports of cases were predominately in the southeast and northeast counties of the state.
巴贝斯虫病是宾夕法尼亚州的一种新出现的感染病，临床医生需要了解其临床表现以及与严重疾病相关的风险因素。在 2010 年之前，我们位于宾夕法尼亚州中部的三级学术中心此前没有零例巴贝斯虫病病例。我们在 2011 年首次确诊了宾夕法尼亚州感染巴贝斯虫病的病例；2017 年记录了 2 例确诊病例，2018 年记录了 4 例确诊病例。2018 年的所有 4 例病例都被认为是在宾夕法尼亚州中南部的县获得的，而之前的病例报告主要集中在该州的东南部和东北部县。
