First case of fatal bacteremia due to Nocardia neocaledoniensis
Nocardia neocaledoniensis is an uncommon cause of human-infections. Few cases are reported in the literature. We describe the first case of bacteremia caused by N. neocaledoniensis. This article underlines the importance of mass spectrometry for easy and rapid identification of such bacterium.
