Case report: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing for the diagnosis of rare Nocardia aobensis infection in a patient with immune thrombocytopenia
We report the first detailed case of pulmonary nocardiosis caused by <i>N. aobensis</i> diagnosed by mNGS. mNGS could be an effective method that facilitates early diagnosis and timely decision-making for the treatment of nocardiosis, especially in cases that involve rare pathogens.
