There is limited information available about Babesia infection of humans in China. The aim of this study was to isolate the pathogen from a patient with severe parasitemia. Case Presentation: Blood samples were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA), and red blood cells of bone marrow and blood smears were examined by a microscope. The patient was infected by Babesia and cured after a combined treatment. Conclusions: Babesia infection was detected in an individual from China. | en |
