What is babesiosis?
Babesiosis is a relatively rare diseases transmitted by ticks transmitted by the deer tick, which can also carry lymph disease or ehrlichiosis. Unlike Lyme's disease, blood transfusion can also be transmitted. The infection itself is not bacterial, but instead is parasitic infection. It can be treated similarly to malaria, with quinine and clindamycin, atypical antibiotic drug.
Most cases of babesiosis occur on the east coast, especially in places like Nantucket Island. Several cases also appeared isolated on the west coast and in several Midwest States. Babesiosis may be insufficiently announced because infection may not lead to any symptoms in people who are healthy. Healthy people can easily recover from infections without treatment. Babesiosis can also mean that man is infected with lymechoroba. Both conditions can be approved by the same bite of ticks, which can complicate the diagnosis. In rare cases, symptoms may occurUT years after infection. A person carrying parasites could develop the symptoms of the disease if they download HIV or have splenectomy.
usually occurs in the first few weeks. They include pain, fever, malaise, nausea and vomiting, headache, night sweating and anemia. While many cases respond to treatment, people who are vulnerable to illness may have continued symptoms in the treatment. They may include liver failure or extreme mental confusion. If both babesiosis and Lyme's disease are present, the disease may be much more serious and difficult to treat.
Since babesiosis is rare, it may not always be average. If one is aware that he recently had tick bite, most healthcare workers will perform blood testing to seek the presence of parasite in the blood cells. On the other hand, when you don't know that he had a tick bite, he did notUS is suspicion of illness. One of the important guides for this possible disease is anemia and mild to large jaundice.
babesiosis may have serious consequences for the elderly and for those who have autoimmune conditions or that have endangered immune symptoms. Even in treatment, the condition is fatal for a small percentage of people who disrupt it. Most recover completely and many may never know they had an infection.
Because treatment is not always successful, the prevention of tick bite bite is particularly important. Wear long sleeves and long pants (in light colors) in grassy areas or forest areas or at any place where deer ticks can be present. Doctors also recommend using insect repellent with Deet and thoroughly body control on ticks after being in such areas. If you find ticks, follow the steps to remove ticks and leave the ticks to be checked.
