Actinomyces as a Cause of Unexplained Fever Diagnosed by Next-Generation Sequencing: Case Report and Review

2021-01-07

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Actinomycosis is a rare cause of unexplained origin fever (FUO). The NGS, particularly in cases of FUO in conventional microbiology, is a promising and advantageous technology for earlier diagnosis and more success. It gives new insights in the management of FUO, especially in infectious diseases.Case presentation: We present a case of a 71-year-old woman who had FUO that th...
