Abstract:Nocardiosis is a rare but the severe opportunistic infectious disease, usually occur in the population with immune impairment and chronic diseases. The clinical manifestation and radiological examinations are nonspecific, and the diagnosis for the disease mostly depends on the laboratory examination. To strengthen the understanding of nocardiosis and improve the diagnosis and treatment of bloodstream infection due to Nocardia, the clinical data of a patient with Nocardia cyriacigeorgica bloodstream infection was retrospectively analyzed and the related literatures at home and abroad were reviewed. The clinical and radiological features of the patient were nonspecific. The diagnose was depended on the etiology examination in the laboratory. Gram-positive rod was detected. Subsequently, 16s rRNA sequencing of the bacteria was confirmed to be N. cyriacigeorgica. These results indicated that qualified sample collection and Gram staining. are critical for early diagnosis of nocardiosis.
