Abstract:
:Babesiosis is an emerging tick-borne infection. We describe 2 hospitalized patients from the United States with spontaneous splenic rupture attributable to Babesia microti infection. The first patient was a 36-year-old previously healthy man with a low-grade splenic rupture not requiring surgical intervention. The second was a 70-year-old healthy man whose splenic rupture required proximal splenic artery embolization. Since the spleen is an important organ involved in controlling Babesia infection, management of splenic rupture in an infected patient using an organ preserving approach when appropriate may be preferred.
