Baby Boy Shocking Lyme Disease and Babesia Battle

In this video, Baby Boy fighting against Lyme Disease and Babesia. We’ll share the incredible story of a young child’s struggle with Lyme disease and Babesia, a parasitic illness. If you’re interested in understanding these conditions better
Hello, my name is Dr. Daniel Cameron, I would like to share with you a case of a 6-year-old baby boy with Babesia from my book “An Expert’s Guide on Navigating Lyme disease.
Babesia is a parasitic illness following a deer tick’s bite that can increase Lyme disease severity. Babesia symptoms can be severe and deadly early in the disease when the Babesiosis disease caused by parasites are visible in the red blood cells. However, Babesia symptoms can also be milder or absent in some individuals.
I feel that the best way to get to know Lyme disease is through reviewing actual cases.
This case was first described in the journal Pediatrics, written by Handel and colleagues in 2019.
The doctors were initially not able to identify the reason the boy was ill or why there was anemia or a low platelet count. The doctors prescribed three antibiotics - ampicillin, ceftriaxone, and vancomycin until they could determine a cause of the illness. The laboratory tests revealed that 3.6% of the baby’s red cells showed parasites seen with Babesia under the microscope
The baby was prescribed oral atovaquone and intravenous azithromycin. The anemia worsened. The hemoglobin dropped to 6.9 gram/dl, which is quite low. The doctors transfused a unit of blood.
The doctors were concerned that the baby might also have suffered from Lyme disease. The doctors added 14 days of amoxicillin to the treatment. The baby remained well on follow-up, according to the doctors. This published paper demonstrates the importance of considering Babesia in a Lyme disease evaluation.
