Putative Bronchopulmonary Flagellated Protozoa in Immunosuppressed Patients
Figure 1
(a) A round shaped flagellated protozoon with granular cytoplasm and wavy, not combed flagella of different lengths without a terminal bar in BALf smear. At the top it is possible to observe a columnar ciliated epithelial cell (wet mount preparation ×400, case number 1). (b) An oval shaped flagellated protozoal form in BALf. Long flagella of variable length are inserted around the cytoplasm (wet mount preparation ×400, case number 2). Scale bar = 25 μm.
