| Core Tip |
Early detection of Nocardia paucivorans can optimize antibiotic management, shorten hospital stays and improve survival rates. We report rapid detection of N. paucivorans by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of BALF. The patient was treated with trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) and linezolid by implementation of individual dose adjustment based on serum concentration and thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, then replaced by TMP-SMZ and ceftriaxone or minocycline. This case suggests that mNGS is a convenient and efficient technique for detecting Nocardia, especially suitable for rare, novel and atypical etiologies of complicated infectious diseases. Linezolid may be an important alternative in disseminated nocardiosis. |
