- Abstract
Babesiosis is tick-borne zoonotic infection caused by Babesia microorganism that settles into erythrocytes. Although it is seen as sporadic in our country, there are not so many cases published on in this subject. In this case, we present a case which was investigated for fever and pancytophenia, and in case of not having tick contact, intra-erythrocythe parasites were seen on the peripheral blood smear and Babesiozis pre-diagnosis and quinine and clindamycin upon Babesiozis prediagnosis, as a result of which the patients's fever decreased and the complete blood count improved on the second day of the treatment.
