Babesiosis

• Preferred regimen (1): Combined therapy with Clindamycin and Quinine
• Preferred regimen (2): Both atovaquone (a hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) alone and azithromycin (an azalide macrolide) alone appeared to be effective.

Note : Neither the regimen of atovaquone and azithromycin nor the regimen of clindamycin and quinine clears Babesiosis microti merozoites from the human blood as rapidly as might be desired.
