Fig 1. Dark-field image of Leptospira interrogans
serotype Sejroe Wolffi 3705 (1000× oil). The tight coils and
bent ends are characteristic of this organism.

Fig 2. Appearance of Borrelia recurrentis in blood.
Giemsa stain (850×).

Fig 3. Scanning electron micrograph of Treponema
pallidum (Nichols stain). Two treponemes are shown
adjacent to an erythrocyte (2500×).

Fig 4. Life cycle of Chlamydia.

Fig 5. Elementary bodies and cells in Chlamydia
trachomatis–positive direct specimen.

Fig 6. Conjunctival scarring and hyperendemic
blindness caused by Chlamydia trachomatis in ocular
infections.

Fig 7. Inguinal swelling and lymphatic drainage due
to Chlamydia trachomatis serovars L1, L2a, L2b, or L3, that is,
lymphogranuloma venereum.

Fig 8. Giemsa stain showing inclusion body from
ocular swab of a 7-day-old newborn who was discharged but
then readmitted with fever, weight loss, lack of eating, and
“fussiness.” At 3 days after delivery, Neisseria gonorrhoeae
was isolated from ocular discharge, although the patient
had been given silver nitrate eye drops. Eye cultures
confirmed the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Fig 9. A and B, Cytologic examination of endocervical specimens demonstrating
inclusion bodies consistent with Chlamydia trachomatis. Papanicolaou stain. (B, 600×).

Fig 10. Iodine-stained inclusion bodies from Chlamydia trachomatis–infected
McCoy cells. (A, 40×; B, 100×.) Note the size and half-moon shape of the inclusion.

Fig 11. Chlamydophila pneumoniae detection from
direct sputum smear using fluorescent-labeled monoclonal
antibody, highlighting cytoplasmic inclusion (200×).

Fig 12. The dorsal view of Dermacentor variabilis, the
American dog tick, a vector for Rocky Mountain spotted
fever.

Fig 13. The female head louse, Pediculus humanus,
which is a vector for Rickettsia prowazekii, the agent of
epidemic typhus.

blood cell.
