Abstract:
A case of transfusion-associated neonatal babesiosis is presented.
Jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia and conjugated
hyperbilirubinemia developed in this preterm infant. The diagnosis
was eventually made by blood smear, serology and polymerase chain
reaction. The patient was treated with clindamycin and quinine and
made a favorable recovery. Of neonatal babesiosis reported in the
literature, 9 other cases are reviewed, including 6 that were
transfusion-associated, 2 congenital and 2 tick transmitted.
