1633. Human Co-infection with Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesia microti Among High-Risk Hispanic/Latino Workers on Eastern Long Island New York: A Preliminary Cross-Sectional Analysis in 2016

摘要

BackgroundLyme disease has serious public health implications and has a high prevalence in Suffolk County, NY. Furthermore, there is a high risk for coinfection with Babesiosis, a potentially life-threatening tick-borne infection in the same area. This population-based cohort study was implemented in 2016 to assess the risk factors for Borreliosis among the Hispanic/Latino work population, which gave us the opportunity to measure clinical and epidemiological features of co-infection.
