  • Title: Case report: Nocardia gipuzkoensis infection in an immunocompetent patient diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing and whole genome sequencing.
    Author: Liu C, Yang J, Huang H, Zhan S, Xia X.
    Journal: Front Immunol; 2022; 13():1053914. PubMed ID: 36569853.
    Abstract:
    The infection of Nocardia gipuzkoensis is a relatively uncommon form of pulmonary nocardiosis seen in clinical patients. In general, nocardiosis tends to occur in patients with immune deficiency. Here, we report a 23-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital due to cough and sputum production over 10 years, diagnosed with bronchiectasis. The N. gipuzkoensis infection was identified by metagenomic next-generation sequencing and whole genome sequencing. Imipenem/cilastatin and compound sulfamethoxazole tablets were used to control the infection and the pulmonary inflammation subsided gradually.
