摘要

背景：由厌氧菌引起的肺炎合并脓肿是罕见的，但可能危及生命，特别是在免疫功能低下的患者中。病例介绍：一个67岁的男性糖尿病和高血压谁提出了肺炎和胸腔积液，并对最初的广谱抗生素无反应。新一代测序鉴定出微细小单胞菌和其他病原体。因此，开始了左旋硝唑的靶向治疗。经此治疗后，病人的病情明显好转。结论：该病例强调了在免疫功能低下患者中考虑厌氧菌的重要性，以及下一代测序在鉴定非典型病原体中的应用。

Pneumonia, a pulmonary abscess, and an empyema caused by Parvimonas micra.

Background: Pneumonia with an empyema caused by anaerobic bacteria is rare but can be life-threatening, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Case presentation: A 67-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension who presented with pneumonia and pleural effusion and was unresponsive to initial broad-spectrum antibiotics is presented. Next-generation sequencing identified Parvimonas micra and other pathogens. Therefore, targeted therapy with levornidazole was initiated. The patient's condition improved significantly after this treatment.

Conclusions: This case highlights the importance of considering anaerobic bacteria in immunocompromised patients and the utility of next-generation sequencing in identifying atypical pathogens.
