Babesiosis is a tick-borne parasitic disease caused by Babesia parasites, primarily Babesia microti, that infect and destroy red blood cells, leading to fever, chills, sweats, and potentially severe hemolytic anemia, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
Endemic in parts of the northeastern and upper midwestern US (CDC reports 1,000-2,000 cases annually), and emerging in Europe and Asia.
