A severe Babesia infection
Babesiosis is a parasitic disease transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected tick but it can also be spread through tainted blood transfusions or less frequently via organ transplantation or perinatally. The severity of Babesia can range from asymptomatic to life-threatening. In immunocompromised patients or in those who have contracted the disease through blood transfusions, a Babesia infection has a fatality rate of about 20%. [1,2]
