Excerpt:
We report an unusual case of human babesiosis in Finland in a
53-year-old man with no history of splenectomy. He had a
rudimentary spleen, coexisting Lyme borreliosis, exceptional dark
streaks on his extremities, and subsequent disseminated
aspergillosis. He was infected with Babesia divergens, which
usually causes bovine babesiosis in Finland.
