Dr. Cameron feels that the best way to get to know Lyme disease is through reviewing actual cases. In this Inside Lyme Podcast episode, he will be discussing a 78-year-old confused woman with Babesia and Anaplasmosis.

Paparone and her colleague first discussed this case in the journal Nurse Practitioner in 2018.

A 78-year-old woman was evaluated in an emergency room with fever, chills, lethargy, fatigue, and confusion. The doctor initially considered sepsis. 

The doctors were able to identify the parasite that causes Babesia in the woman’s red blood cells The doctors were also concerned that the woman might suffer from another tick-borne illness called Anaplasmosis because of her low white blood count and low platelet count. 

The woman’s cognitive function improved dramatically following two weeks of treatment, according to the authors. What can we learn from this case?
