A FATAL PULMONARY INFECTION BY NOCARDIA BRASILIENSIS [PDF]
Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2006 The reported case is of primary pulmonary nocardiosis, caused by Nocardia brasiliensis, in a immunocompromised patient, which ended fatally despite appropriate treatment. The partially acid fast filamentous bacterium was predominant on direct examination of the sputum. It was cultured on blood agar, MacConkey agar and by paraffin baiting technique. The

Central Nervous System Nocardiosis Due to Nocardia farcinica
Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2023 Nocardia is an opportunistic aerobic, filamentous, gram-positive branching rod that infects immunocompromised hosts. Infections usually stem from the pulmonary, integumentary, or, rarely, gastrointestinal systems.

Actinomycoses and Nocardia pulmonary infections
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2006 Actinomycosis and nocardiosis are uncommon pulmonary infections with distinct morphologic features. Both infections most commonly present as chronic, debilitating illnesses with radiographic manifestations simulating lung cancer or tuberculosis. Immunocompromised hosts, however, may develop fulminant disease resembling acute bacterial pneumonia.

Sporotrichoid Skin Infection Caused by Nocardia brasiliensis in a Kidney Transplant Patient
Diseases, 2018 Prompt and accurate diagnosis of Nocardia skin infections is important in immunocompromised hosts, especially transplant patients. The sporotrichoid form, which is otherwise known as the lymphocutaneous form of Nocardia skin involvement, can mimic other ...

Cerebral Abscess Infected by Nocardia gipuzkoensis
Infection and Drug Resistance, 2023 Nocardia gipuzkoensis is a novel species that solely identified in patients with pulmonary infections by far. Growing evidence showed the excellent performance of metagenomics next-generation sequencing (mNGS) on pathogenic identification, especially for new species. Here, we described the first case of an elderly female patient suddenly suffering from

Isolation of Nocardia Otitidiscaviarum from a Case of Cutaneous Nocardiosis: A Rare Case Report
Indian Journal of DermatologyNocardia species are Gram-positive, partially acid-fast, filamentous bacilli commonly found in soil, water, and air. In humans, Nocardia typically causes respiratory, neurological infections and, less frequently, cutaneous infections.

Nocardia pseudobrasiliensis Co-infection in SARS-CoV-2 Patients
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, few cases of Nocardia spp. co-infection have been reported during or after a COVID-19 infection. Nocardia spp. are gram-positive aerobic actinomycetes that stain partially acid-fast, can infect immunocompromised patients,
