Abstract
Babesiosis is a natural focal infectious disease caused by protozoa of the genus Babesia, transmitted transmissibly and characterized by fever, intoxication, progressive hemolytic anemia, and often severe course in immunocompromised patients. The clinical picture of babesiosis is nonspecific. The disease should be suspected in patients with unexplained fever who have been in endemic areas for 2 months or have received a blood transfusion within 6 months. Diagnosis of babesiosis is difficult; depends on the qualifications of the doctor and the number of parasites in the blood. The aim of the work is to summarize the available information about the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinic, diagnosis, etiotropic therapy and prevention of babesiosis in humans. A review of domestic and foreign literature over the past 30 years, including Internet resources, has been carried out.
