Figure 1. Concentration of Borrelia miyamotoi A) RNA and B) DNA in blood samples from patients with B. miyamotoi disease during disease progression, Yekaterinburg, Russia, 2009–2010. Blood samples were obtained before antimicrobial drug therapy was given. Boxes indicate interquartile ranges (IQRs), horizontal bars indicate medians, and error bars indicate 1.5× IQR. Circles indicate moderate outliers (1.5×–3× IQR, 238,700 copies/mL), and asterisks indicate extreme outliers (>3× IQR, 280,000–420,000 copies/mL).
