Fig. 1. Morphological and molecular findings of Taenia saginata found in this case. (A) After praziquantel (10 mg/kg) treatment, long parasite segments approximately 84 cm in length were expelled. (B) The 1750-bp cox1 sequence was yielded from our specimen and the neighbor-joining tree showed that our specimen (indicated by arrow head) was in the same phylogenetic group as T. saginata, but not in the same group as T. asiatica, T. multiceps, or T. solium.

Fig. 2. Reading graphs of blood culture bottle of the first patient (A) showed positive flag within less than a day after starting to incubate in the automated blood culture system. Additional incubation of blood cultures revealed no change of peaks in reading graphs until 5 days. (B) Normal positive flag within a day showed abrupt peak at 13 hours after incubation.
