Brain abscess caused by Nocardia thailandica infection in systemic lupus erythematosus patient with steroid therapy
Abstract
Background: Nocardia is an aerobic Gram-negative bacillus belonging to actinomycetes and has been reported to be an infectious disease in healthy individuals. However, more than 60% have some underlying illnesses and are said to be opportunistic infections. Case Description: The case was a 69-year-old man who had been on long-term steroids for systemic lupus erythematosus. He developed with nausea and gait disturbance and was suspected of having a brain abscess by imaging. Abscess drainage detects actinomycetes that appear to belong to the genus Nocardia and brain abscess by Nocardia thailandica using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass analysis (MALDITOFMS) I was diagnosed. He died during the course of the treatment, and his organs did not detect his N. thailandica at necropsy, so he concluded that bacterial death from long-term administration of antibiotics was the cause of death. Conclusion: N. thailandica is a very rare bacterium belonging to Nocardia asteroides and is said to easily form brain lesions. In immunocompromised patients, prophylaxis with antibiotics and detailed examination of lung lesions for surveillance were considered necessary. This paper is the first report of a brain abscess caused by N. thailandica, including a review of the literature.

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“Although N. thailandica has not previously been reported in Africa, it appears to be distributed worldwide, having been detected in the USA, Japan, Iran, and India.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
