Left thigh phlegmon caused by Nocardia farcinica identified by 16S rRNA sequencing in a patient with Leprosy: a case report
BACKGROUND In recent years, Nocardia farcinica has been reported to be an increasingly frequent cause of localized and disseminated infections in the immunocompromised patient. However, recent literature is limited. We report a case of left thigh phlegmon caused by N. farcinica that occurred in a patient with leprosy undergoing treatment with prednisone for leprosy reaction. CASE PRESENTATION...

متن کاملPulmonary and cutaneous infection caused by Nocardia farcinica in a patient with nephrotic syndrome
RATIONALE Nocardia species is known as conditional pathogenic bacteria. Disseminated infection caused by Nocardia species is rare and occurs primarily in immunosuppressed patients. Signs and symptoms of this infection are frequently nonspecific making early diagnosis and treatment difficult. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of subcutaneous and pulmonary nocardiosis due to Nocardia farcinica ...
متن کاملReport of an immunocompetent case with disseminated infection due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum: Identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
Nocardia otitidiscaviarum belongs to the agents of opportunistic infections seen in immunocompromised patients, but may occur rarely in immunocompetent patients. In this report we described a case of a previously healthy 69-year-old woman with cerebral and retroperitoneal abscess due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum. The patient was admitted to hospital because of loss of strength in her right arm ...
متن کاملAn immunosuppressed patient with systemic vasculitis suffering from cerebral abscesses due to Nocardia farcinica identified by 16S rRNA gene universal PCR.
Nocardia spp. are Gram-positive, partially or variably acid-fast filamentous, branching rods of aerobic actinomycetes [1]. The most common primary site for infection in man is the respiratory tract [1,2]. Brain abscess is the most common clinical manifestation of central nervous system (CNS) infection [1]. The majority of the patients affected have underlying chronic diseases or suffer from end...
