ABSTRACT
We describe a case of relapsing babesiosis in an immunocompromised patient. A point mutation in the Babesia microti 23S rRNA gene predicted resistance to azithromycin and clindamycin, whereas an amino acid change in the parasite cytochrome b predicted resistance to atovaquone. Following initiation of tafenoquine, symptoms and parasitemia resolved.
