To evaluate the spectrum of nocardiosis after marrow transplantation, we reviewed the medical records of 27 patients with nocardiosis who were treated at three centers, and we reviewed the findings of three cases reported in the literature. Nocardial involvement was defined as invasive nocardiosis (n = 25), colonization (n = 4), or contamination (n = 1). The median time to the diagnosis of noca...
Human nocardiosis may present as an acute or a chronic infection. Although a saprophyte Nocardia spp are responsible for superficial skin infections, pulmonary infections, and disseminated nocardiosis usually involving patients who are immunosuppressed and debilitated. Infections in immunocompetent individuals are usually chronic and present non-specific symptoms. Invasive and disseminated noca...
BACKGROUND Nocardiosis is a rare, life-threatening opportunistic infection, affecting 0.04% to 3.5% of patients after solid organ transplant (SOT). The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for Nocardia infection after SOT and to describe the presentation of nocardiosis in these patients. METHODS We performed a retrospective case-control study of adult patients diagnosed with nocardi...
INTRODUCTION We present 4 local cases of nocardiosis in HIV-infected patients and discuss the diagnosis, clinical syndromes and therapy of nocardiosis. CLINICAL PICTURE Two cases presented with pulmonary nocardiosis, one had a cervical lymph node abscess and one had disseminated nocardiosis with pulmonary, cerebral and soft tissue involvement. TREATMENT Combination therapy is often employed...
Pulmonary nocardiosis is commonly recognized as an opportunistic infection in patients with predisposing immunosuppressive conditions. However, reports of pulmonary nocardiosis in the immunocompetent host are rare. Here, we report a case series of four patients with pulmonary nocardiosis without a predisposing condition.
Pulmonary nocardiosis is an infrequent and severe infection due to Nocardia species, microorganisms that may behave both as opportunists and as primary pathogens. Diagnosis of pulmonary nocardiosis is frequently delayed and a high level of suspicion is required in patients with underlying diseases or chronic corticosteroid therapy. Hereby we are presenting a case of pulmonary nocardiosis mimick...
BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous nocardiosis is an uncommon entity. It usually occurs among immunocompetent but occupationally predisposed individuals. AIM To study clinical profile of patients with primary cutaneous nocardiosis in a tertiary care hospital and to review the literature. METHODS The records of 10 cases of primary cutaneous nocardiosis were analyzed for clinical pattern, site of i...
Sir, Nocardiosis is an uncommon but world-wide infection caused by several species of soil-borne aerobic bacteria belonging to the genus Nocardia (1). Nocardiosis can be divided into two broad categories: disseminated and cutaneous. Disseminated nocardiosis, which accounts for most occurrences of nocardiosis, is most commonly caused by N. asteroides, and typically affects immunocompromised host...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nocardia is an uncommon pathogen in humans, and most patients with nocardiosis are immunocompromised, with variable etiologies. To understand the incidence, clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome of pulmonary and bloodstream nocardiosis, we conducted a retrospective study in two tertiary care hospitals in northern Taiwan. METHODS We reviewed laboratory culture ...
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a severe and uncommon opportunistic infection caused by Nocardia species. We present a patient with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia who was receiving long-term immunosuppressive therapy, whose treatment course was complicated by cutaneous and pulmonary nocardiosis. Tissue cultures confirmed Nocardia brasiliensis. Nocardiosis should be a diagnostic consideration for pat...
