Babesiosis is a rapidly emerging tick-borne disease that threatens unsuspecting victims with moderate to severe illness.
How this infection will be diagnosed and treated by medical professionals in the years to come is outlined in a new Babesiosis Guideline issued today by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). This guideline is widely disseminated and is the go-to source for health workers and patients alike throughout the United States and beyond seeking the latest medical information.
Yale School of Public Health Senior Research Scientist Peter Krause, M.D., chaired a committee of 14 medical and health professionals from around the country and three patient representatives and is lead author of the new Guideline. It was last updated in 2006 when the disease was less well recognized.

The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to adults ages 16 and older under the FDA s emergency use authorization (EUA), said the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in an emergency meeting on Saturday.
In a 11-0-3 vote (with three members recusing themselves due to conflicts of interest), the committee voted for this interim recommendation. They also voted 14-0 to amend the adult and child/adolescent immunization schedule to recommend COVID-19 vaccination under the scope of use for an EUA.
CDC staff noted that insurance carriers will have 15 business days after the vote and adoption until they will be mandated to cover COVID-19 vaccine administration fees. They said the generic language about COVID-19 vaccines, rather than the Pfizer vaccine, is to ensure there is no delay in coverage as additional vaccines are added.
