متن کاملNocardia arthritidis as a cause of disseminated nocardiosis in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
A case of disseminated nocardiosis caused by Nocardia arthritidis in an immunocompromised patient with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis is presented. This report highlights the use for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in addition to single gene molecular sequencing to identify rare Nocardia species.
متن کاملDisseminated Nocardiosis in an Immunocompromised Child with Unknown Cause

Most infections occur in the immunocompromised host or in persons with underlying disease. DN occurs rarely in children. In this report, we describe an 11-year-old immune-compromised child with nocardiosis involving the lung, skin, brain a...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Disseminated Nocardiosis Caused by Nocardia veterana in a Dog
A 5-year-old male castrated Lhasa Apso cross was evaluated for a 1-month history of inappetence, lethargy, gagging, and progressive right thoracic limb lameness. Synovial fluid analysis revealed nonseptic suppurative inflammation, and a diagnosis of immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) was made. After 3 months of treatment with prednisone and later cyclosporine, the dog developed multiple firm ...
