Disseminated Nocardia beijingensis Infection in an Immunocompetent Patient

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
Nocardia is a genus of aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming filamentous branching bacteria with fragmentation into bacillary or coccoid forms. Infections caused by Nocardia often occur in immunocompromised hosts and are potentially life-threatening.

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Complicated by Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae Infection Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report

Acute Medicine &Surgery, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
A rare case of autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis complicated by invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae infection was successfully managed with veno‐venous ECMO. ECMO enabled timely whole lung lavage during recovery from septic shock, which yielded atypical yellowish‐brown fluid likely reflecting infection and led to clinical improvement.

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.
