We describe babesiosis transmitted by transfusion. The infected blood donor was identified and a minimum period of infectivity of the donor's blood was established. We report a new modality for chemotherapy consisting of quinine plus clindamycin, and a new endemic focus for this zoonosis on Fire Island, New York. There are insufficient data to establish a reasonably safe period after which visitors and residents of Babesia-endemic foci can become blood donors. Screening of such persons by a rapid serologic test, such as the ELISA or immunofluorescent antibody tests, is suggested.
我们描述了通过输血传播的巴贝斯虫病。已识别出受感染的献血者，并确定了献血者血液的最短感染期。我们报告了一种由奎宁加克林霉素组成的化疗新方法，以及纽约火岛这种人畜共患病的一个新的地方病疫源地。目前尚无足够数据确定巴贝斯虫病疫源地的访客和居民在多长时间后可以安全献血。建议通过快速血清学检测，如酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）或免疫荧光抗体检测对此类人员进行筛查。
