5 Cases Case 1 A 53-year-old male resident of Connecticut was admitted to ER in July. He recently had a week-long camping trip. He presented with high fevers (40 C), shaking chill, weakness, and fatigue. He had severe hemolytic anemia (Hct of 21%)/pancytopenia (platelet count of 33K), with signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute renal failure, and respiratory failure. He was intubated and transferred to ICU overnight. There was no history of splenectomy or immunodeficiency.
6 Cases Case 2 60 year old woman with a prolonged hospital stay (7 months) due to multiple medical and surgical issues. For the last week, patient has been spiking temp of 39 to 40 C. Significant DAT negative hemolytic anemia (Hct of 27%) She received transfusion of 4 units RBC 4 weeks ago. And she has a history of splenectomy

38 Babesiosis Harmful Materials: Parasite: from RBC only? Cytokine? Free Heme Others?
39 ASFA guideline: Rationale for therapeutic apheresis 1. First, it helps to lower the level of parasitemia by physically removing the infected RBCs from the blood stream and replacing them with noninfected RBCs. Because babesia organisms do not have an exo-erthrocytic phase, removal of RBC-associated parasites might be very effective. 2. Second, by removal of rigid infected cells, RBC exchange could decrease obstruction in the microcirculation and tissue hypoxia caused by adherence of RBCs to vascular endothelium. 3. Finally, the hemolytic process produces vasoactive compounds, including a variety of cytokines (including INF-g, TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6), nitric oxide and thromboplastin substances, which can promote renal failure and DIC. RBC exchange may help to remove the proinflammatory cytokines.

43 Pathogenesis Excessive erythrocyte cytoadherence: Additionally, erythrocytes infected with some babesia species undergo membrane changes that cause these erythrocytes to adhere to the vascular endothelium Excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine production During a babesia infection, inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-a) and interleukin 6, and adhesion molecules such as Eselectin, intracellular adhesion molecule 1 and vascular-cell adhesion molecule 1 are upregulated While moderate synthesis of these factors may be protective, excessive upregulation may result in severe babesiosis Krause PJ, Daily J, Telford SR, et al. Trends Parasitol, 2007 Sloan et al, Journal of Clinical Apheresis 00:00 00 (2014)
44 Erythrocyte cytoadherence Cytoadherence most thoroughly studied in B. bovis infection Cattle infected by B. bovis die from encephalopathy as erythrocytes obstruct brain blood vessels. B. bovis encephalopathy similar to human P. falciparum cerebral malaria Cytoadherence is beneficial for the parasite as it delays or prevents filtering/removal of infected RBCs by the spleen. Courtesy of Dr. Peter Krause, Yale
45 Pro-inflammatory cytokines Severe disease occurs without erythrocyte cytoadherence for B. microti, suggesting other pathogenic mechanisms. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IFN-γ protect the host against B. microti infection but if produced in excess may cause severe symptoms and complications.
