case_images: Examination of the case of visceral leishmaniasis: (A) Leishmania amastigotes were examined by BMA. (Wright-Giemsa, 1000x). (B) Chest X-ray disclosed bilateral pulmonary edema. (C) A recheck of chest X-ray showed significant resolution of pulmonary edema. (D) Brown sputum was aspirated from the patient's endotracheal tube.

case_images: Leishmania amastigotes were detected by BMA (Figure 1A). Bilateral pulmonary edema was detected by chest X-ray (Figure 1B). A recheck of chest X-ray suggested significant resolution of pulmonary oedema (Figure 1C), and the symptoms of asthma were relieved. More seriously, brown sputum can be aspirated from his endotracheal tube (Figure 1D).
case_images: mNGS testing: (A) mNGS results of BALF indicate visceral leishmaniasis. BALF mNGS showed 8431 Leishmania infantum sequence readings with coverage of 0.47%. (B) Reexamination of BALF mNGS reported 806 Leishmania infantum sequence readings with coverage of 0.03%.
