. The described case underscores the importance of medical vigilance in clinical practice. It seems that due to increasingly advanced techniques in molecular biology, we will more frequently detect pathogens that were previously encountered only sporadically. Since not every center has access to modern and advanced microbiological diagnostic methods, publications that practically combine classical microbiological diagnostic methods with those less accessible but more modern are exceptionally valuable. In the case described, it is also worth noting that classical methods still play a significant and crucial role in conducting microbiological diagnostics. In the era of rapid diagnostic tool development, it is important to emphasize the necessity of combining different methods rather than replacing one with another.
