Actinomycosis and nocardiosis co-infection in chronic granulomatous disease.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disease of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase system that causes defective production of toxic oxygen metabolites, leading to impaired bacterial and fungal killing, and recurrent life threatening infections; mostly by catalase producing organisms. Nocardiosis in CGD is well described, however actinomycosis is rare. We describe a patient of CGD with a...
متن کاملEndobronchial nocardiosis.
The presentation of a Nocardia infection is quite variable. We report a case of nocardiosis presenting as endobronchial obstruction with postobstructive pneumonia and atelectasis, in a patient with a low index of suspicion for bronchogenic carcinoma. Our report emphasizes the importance of considering the diagnosis of endobronchial nocardiosis in patients with endobronchial obstruction and a lo...

A major problem is correct identification, as clinical presentation is not peculiar as well as histological findings, suggestive of an infective process, but not able to detect the microorganisms, unless a tissue culture has bee...
