Excerpt:

A previously healthy febrile patient with travel history to
Nicaragua showed rapid clinical deterioration with hemodynamic
shock and anuria. Diagnosis of severe malaria was established
based on intra-erythrocytic parasites and antimalarial treatment
was initiated. However, upon reevaluation Babesia microti
infection was suspected and molecular characterization by
polymerase chain reaction and sequence analysis was performed.
