Spirochetes (red arrows) visualized on Gram stain in a cerebrospinal fluid sample from a 68-year-old man with immunosuppression from rituximab, Minnesota, USA. Visualization was done after concentration using cytospin (original magnification ×1,000 with oil immersion). The spirochetes were later identified as Borrelia miyamotoi by 16S ribosomal sequencing.
