Venous blood culture reported negative results. Former improper diagnosis and treatment did not improve his condition. With the assistant of metagenomic next-generation sequencing, the pathogen was identified as  Nocardia farcinica . He was then applied with accurate treatment and had a remarkable clinical and radiological improvement.
