Spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery in a parturient with babesiosis and Lyme disease ANAESTHESIA Sultan, P., Green, C., Riley, E., Carvalho, B. 2012; 67 (2): 180-183

Abstract

We present a case of a parturient with babesiosis and Lyme disease who was scheduled for elective caesarean section. The caesarean section was performed under spinal anaesthesia, and the patient had a coronary artery dissection 4 days postoperatively. Neuraxial anaesthesia and possible mechanisms for the coronary artery dissection in a patient with babesiosis and Lyme disease are discussed.
