Disseminated Nocardia Brasiliensis Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient.
A novel therapeutic approach for Nocardia infections is presented. We report the successful treatment of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis with a three-drug combination in an immunocompromised patient with in vitro susceptibility testing used to guide therapy. New therapeutic options are required in some patients due to their failure to respond to the treatment of choice, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol...

Nocardia farcinica is a gram-positive, partially acid-fast, methenamine silver-positive aerobic actinomycete that is infrequently associated with nocardiosis. The relative frequency of Nocardia farcinica isolates in nocardiosis is unknown but thought to be under diagnosis. It is increasingly been recognized in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of disseminated Nocardia farcinica causing...
متن کاملNocardia Brain Abscess in an Immunocompetent Patient

متن کاملdisseminated nocardiosis in an immunocompetent individual infected with nocardia brasiliensis, an opportunistic agent
conclusions combination therapy with surgical excision has a synergistic effect and appears to be the best treatment for extended lesions. however, new potent antibacterial drugs may help to improve the management of such infections when there are sufficient data on their in vitro activity. introduction nocardia species are described as opportunistic pathogens that mainly cause pulmonary nocard...
