Article Synopsis
- Nocardiosis is an infection caused by an aerobic gram-positive bacterium that typically affects immunocompromised individuals, but this report highlights two healthy patients with lymph node enlargement and fever who were diagnosed using advanced genetic testing.
- The infections usually manifest in the lungs, skin, or central nervous system but can spread to other organs through the bloodstream.
- The cases suggest that nocardiosis might be more common in healthy individuals than previously thought, and using Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) on lymph node tissue can accurately diagnose this condition when other tests fail.
Venlafaxine, a representative antidepressant, has been detected frequently in aquatic environments. The treatment of venlafaxine by free chlorine (NaOCl) and chlorine dioxide (ClO) was investigated in this study. The effects of operational variables and the water matrix on venlafaxine degradation were evaluated.
