Article Abstract
Japanese spotted fever(JSF)is an infectious disease caused by ,with nonspecific clinical symptoms and a high risk of misdiagnosis.We reported a case of JSF,in which was detected in blood cells by metagenomic next-generation sequencing.The patient recovered after treatment with doxycycline.This report provides a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of JSF.

Background: Actinomyces graevenitzii is a relatively uncommon Actinomyces species, which is an oral species and predominantly recovered from respiratory locations [1,2]. It is a gram-positive anaerobic bacteria or microaerobic filamentation bacteria, which can induce pyogenic and granulomatous inflammation characterized by swelling and concomitant pus, sinus formation, and the formation of yellow sulfur granules. All tissues and organs can be infected; the most common type involves the neck and face (55%), followed by the abdominal and pelvic cavities (20%).

Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge on these organisms' impact on global health is very limited. The genera Blastocystis, Dientamoeba, Entamoeba, Endolimax and Iodamoeba comprise CLIPPs species, the life cycles of which, as opposed to single-celled pathogenic intestinal parasites (e.

Department of Infectious Diseases, Third People's Hospital of Chengdu, Chengdu, China.
Rationale: Japanese spotted fever (JSF) is a rare tick-borne disease caused by Rickettsia japonica. Atypical manifestations and a lack of standardized diagnostic assays often result in delayed diagnosis and treatment, potentially leading to life-threatening complications.
Patient Concerns: A 57-year-old immunocompetent female from a region with no previously reported JSF cases presented with acute-onset high-grade fever (39.

Rationale: Nocardia spp. are opportunistic pathogens that invade the human body via respiratory inhalation or direct skin wounds. Spinal nocardial osteomyelitis is a rare disease with only a few cases reported to date.

Rationale: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a DNA virus from the herpesvirus family that is widespread among humans. Very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) are particularly susceptible to postnatal CMV infection due to their compromised immune systems. The clinical manifestations of postnatal CMV infection are often nonspecific, which complicates early detection and may lead to multi-organ dysfunction and long-term sequelae.
