Abstract EN
Babesiosis is tick-borne malaria-like disease.
Man is an opportunistic host for Babesia species.
This paper presented the second Egyptian human babesiosis.
The signs and symptoms, CBC, liver functio-ns and kidney functions tests and all other serologic tests did not give any definite diagnosis.
Also, he was sero-negative for malaria infect-ion.
The patient was critically diagnosed by the demonstration of the typical ring forms of Babesia species in stained blood smears.
He was successfully treated with Quinine and Clindamycin, and was discharged from the hospital after the clinical and parasitological improve-ment.
The epidemiology of zoonotic babesiosis was discussed.
