Nocardia asteroides was isolated after prolonged culture from the pericardial fluid of a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. The lengthy duration required for culture growth and identification of this N. asteroides isolate affected both initial therapeutic decisions and patient management. A proposed algorithm for the microbiological workup of pericardial fluid for possible Nocardia spp. is described in an effort to improve the timeliness of results.
从一名感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的患者的心包积液中经过长时间培养分离出星形诺卡菌。该星形诺卡菌分离株的培养生长和鉴定所需的较长时间影响了最初的治疗决策和患者管理。本文描述了一种针对心包积液可能存在诺卡菌属进行微生物学检查的建议算法,以提高结果的及时性。
