Additional file 1 of Babesia microti (Babesiidae, Piroplasmida) infection in a Chinese traveler returning from the United States of America

Additional file 1: Fig. S1. Timeline for the patient infected with Babesia microti (Piroplasmida, Babesiidae) and the clinical course and treatment. Fig. S2. Laboratory values observed during hospitalization. The x-axis denotes the timeline in dates, and the y-axis displays quantitative measurements of laboratory parameters. The area bounded by red dashed lines represents the reference range. The continuous trend line plots the variations in the patient's laboratory parameters over time. Blue lines indicate normal values, and red lines indicate abnormal values. WBC: white blood cell; RBC: red blood cell; HGB: hemoglobin; PLT: platelet; CRP: C-reactive protein; AST: glutamic oxalacetic transaminase; ALT: glutamic-pyruvic transaminase; GGT: glutamyl transferase. Fig. S3. Abdominal CT scan demonstrating massive splenomegaly. The red and blue lines indicate the length and width of the spleen, respectively. The red line (12.5 cm) exceeds the upper limit of normal splenic length (10 cm); the blue line (7.4 cm) surpasses the normal transverse diameter (6 cm). Fig. S4. Comparison analysis of the 1667 base-pair nucleotide sequence alignment of Babesia 18S rRNA gene. The first sequence was from the patient in this study. The other five sequences were obtained from GenBank. Table S1. Laboratory values observed during the patient's hospitalization (reference values in parentheses). Table S2. The panel assays screen for six common viruses, bacteria and protozoa. Table S3. Supportive treatment regimen. Table S4. Symptoms and signs reported during the hospital stay. Table S5. Changes in Babesia microti load under real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.
