Guidance on the Management of Asymptomatic Blood Donors Who Test Positive for <i>Babesia</i>

Several factors support these management recommendations. Blood donors typically comprise healthy, immunocompetent adults in whom most Babesia infections are self-limited based on studies showing that molecular evidence of infection clears in almost all asymptomatic blood donors without intervention.

Abstract

Several factors support these management recommendations. Blood donors typically comprise healthy, immunocompetent adults in whom most Babesia infections are self-limited based on studies showing that molecular evidence of infection clears in almost all asymptomatic blood donors without intervention.
