Babesiosis treatment failures with standard therapy have been reported, but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. We describe the emergence of atovaquone and azithromycin resistance associated with mutations in the binding regions of the target proteins of both drugs during treatment of an immunosuppressed patient with relapsing babesiosis.
已经报道了使用标准疗法治疗巴贝斯虫病失败的案例,但分子机制尚不清楚。我们描述了在一名复发性巴贝斯虫病免疫抑制患者的治疗过程中,阿托伐醌和阿奇霉素耐药性的出现与两种药物靶蛋白结合区域突变有关。
