    Document: Disclosures: Disclosures to report. Canine babesiosis is caused by Babesia rossi and the infection is very virulent. Some cases suffer from major complications including hemolytic anemia, hepatopathy, acute renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, hypoglycemia, cerebral hemorrhages and pancreatitis. The disease has a mortality rate between 7 and 10%. Consequently, there is a need to improve understanding of the risk factors associated with poor clinical outcome. The current study examines the association between B. rossi infection and serum concentrations of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), the major circulating vitamin D metabolite. Hypovitaminosis D has been reported in a wide range of infectious diseases in humans and dogs and low vitamin D status has been associated with poor clinical outcomes. This is the first study to investigate vitamin D status in canine babesiosis.
