Nocardia farcinica; MALDI-TOF MS; Multiple abscess
This case report describes a patient with nocardiosis characterized by multiple disseminated abscesses. Nocardia farcinica was successfully isolated and identified using MALDI-TOF MS, and radiological assessment revealed the presence of abscesses in the brain, lung, and thigh. Accurate species identification aided in the effective treatment of nocardiosis.
Identifying Nocardia species in routine tests is often difficult owing to its culture time. We report a case of nocardiosis characterized by multiple abscesses of disseminated disease. A man in his 50 's presented with inflammation on the left buttock and right lower leg. Nocardia farcinica was isolated from the abscess on his buttock and confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Radiological assessment revealed multiple abscesses in his brain, left lung, and right thigh. He was successfully treated with antibiotics. Accurate species identification by MALDI-TOF MS aids in the optimal treatment of nocardiosis. (c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0
