Primary Cutaneous Nocardiosis Caused by Nocardia takedensis
Nocardia species are aerobic, gram-positive, filamentous, partially acid-fast actinomycetes which are found worldwide in soil and decaying organic plant matter. When they infect human beings, they generally enter through the respiratory tract and then disseminate systemically. Rarely has a primary infection occurred as the result of direct inoculation. Isolation of Nocardia from clinical specim...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous nocardiosis with epidural abscess caused by Nocardia brasiliensis: a case report.
Dissemination of primary cutaneous nocardiosis is a rare event. An interesting case of a 20 year old female labourer with progressive weakness in both the lower limbs and large multiple subcutaneous abscesses over the back, since 4 years, is presented. MRI showed an epidural abscess compressing the cord. Histopathology of skin lesions suggested a chronic suppurative lesion. Microbiological test...
متن کاملCase Report A protracted primary cutaneous nocardiosis due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum
Nocardia otitidiscaviarum was seldom reported to cause primary cutaneous nocardiosis, which is difficult to diagnosis due to its nonspecific clinical features. Misdiagnosis of the disease could result in inappropriate treatment and chronic protracted lesions. In this report, we described a previously misdiagnosed case of primary cutaneous nocardiosis caused by N. otitidiscaviarum in a 30-year-o...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous nocardiosis.
Nocardiosis is a rare human infection due to ubiquitous soil born gram-positive, filametous aerobic bacteria. First signs are frequently cutaneous either as part of systemic infection disseminated to the skin, or as primary cutaneous inoculation. An 88 years old man presented with a 3-day history of red papules and pustules with pain on his forehead. The combination of the unusual clinical pres...
متن کاملPulmonary Nocardiosis due to Nocardia asiatica in an Immunocompetent Host.
We describe a case of pulmonary nocardiosis due to Nocardia asiatica in an immunocompent 64-year-old-female. Wadowsky-Yee-Okuda-α-ketoglutarate (WYOα) agar, a selective media for Legionella species, was useful for the detection based on the growth-inhibition of normal oral flora and growth-promotion of Nocardia species.
