The Application Value of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing in Moderate‐to‐Severe Bronchiectasis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 3, February 2026.
This study analyzed the clinical data of 52 patients with moderate‐to‐severe bronchiectasis who were admitted to our hospital. It explored the diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) in identifying infectious pathogens in patients with moderate‐to‐severe bronchiectasis, and clarified the ...

Disseminated Nocardia beijingensis Infection in an Immunocompetent Patient

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
Nocardia is a genus of aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming filamentous branching bacteria with fragmentation into bacillary or coccoid forms. Infections caused by Nocardia often occur in immunocompromised hosts and are potentially life-threatening.

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]

, 2013
Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease: Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Brazilian Patients

The Journal of Gene Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare inborn error of immunity characterized by the deficient production of reactive oxygen species in phagocytes, which are used in pathogen elimination. Affected individuals become susceptible to severe infections.

Brain Abscesses Complicating Bacterial Meningitis—A Nationwide Cohort Study From the Netherlands

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2026.
Prevalence, pathogen distribution, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of brain abscess in bacterial meningitis was assessed in this study. ABSTRACT Background Brain abscesses rarely complicate bacterial meningitis while their clinical characteristics and outcomes have not been systematically assessed.

Bacteremia and adrenal gland abscess due to Nocardia cyriacigeorgica: a case report and review

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is one of the most common Nocardia species found in human infections, recently reclassified. Even though Nocardia may affect all organs by hematogenous dissemination, bacteremia are uncommon.

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Complicated by Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae Infection Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report

Acute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
A rare case of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis complicated by invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae infection was successfully managed with veno‐venous ECMO. ECMO enabled timely whole lung lavage during recovery from septic shock, which yielded atypical yellowish‐brown fluid likely reflecting infection and led to clinical improvement.
