A case report of brain abscess caused by Nocardia cyriacigeorgica identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing
摘要Nocardia is an aerobic,gram-positive,and opportunistic bacillus widely distributed in the environment. Nocardia cyriacigeorgica (N. cyriacigeorgica) was first isolated in 2001 from a chronic bronchitis patient,[1]and has since been reported as an emerging clinically relevant pathogen worldwide. The diagnosis of nocardial infections remains challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and low culture sensitivity,resulting in high mortality.[2]Herein,we report a case of N. cyriacigeorgica brain abscess in an immunosuppressed patient who was successfully treated with antibiotics and surgery.
