Chronic granulomatous disease: the European experience. [PDF]

, 2009
CGD is an immunodeficiency caused by deletions or mutations in genes that encode subunits of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase complex. Normally, assembly of the NADPH oxidase complex in phagosomes of certain phagocytic cells leads to a "respiratory burst ...

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing provides prognostic warning by identifying mixed infections in nocardiosis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Nocardia is an opportunistic pathogen that mainly involves immunosuppressed patients and causes a high mortality rate. As an emerging approach to detect infectious pathogens, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was reported in the detection of ...

Disseminated Nocardia infection—A rare presentation [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
AbstractNocardia infection is rare and requires early diagnosis, extended use of sulfonamides for good prognosis, and prevention of recurrence. It is crucial to suspect nocardiosis in cases of atypical pneumonias or unexplained visceral organ dysfunction.

Genotypic and phenotypic prevalence of Nocardia species in Iran: First systematic review and meta-analysis of data accumulated over years 1992-2021.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundNocardia species belong to the aerobic actinomycetes group of bacteria which are gram-positive and partially acid-fast Bacilli. These bacteria may sometimes be associated with nosocomial infections.

Nocardia infection following phacoemulsification

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2007
Infection of a self-sealing tunnel incision is a rare but vision-threatening complication of cataract surgery. We describe two cases of side port infection following an uneventful phacoemulsification. Nocardia was isolated in one case. Both the cases were worsening on medical treatment and were successfully treated by therapeutic keratoplasty.
