Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of splenic diseases, particularly splenomegaly and splenic infarction, in patients with active babesiosis by reviewing imaging results from a specific hospital.
- Out of 57 patients with confirmed babesia infections, 29 underwent imaging procedures, with 66% having splenomegaly and 27% showing signs of splenic infarction, primarily in patients with lower levels of parasitemia.
- The findings suggest that splenic enlargement is the typical manifestation of splenic disease in babesiosis, with infarction occurring in some cases, but the small sample size limits the robustness of these conclusions.
