A Case of Disseminated Nocardiosis due to <i>Nocardia otitidiscaviarum</i> With Pulmonary Infection and a Thyroid Abscess. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Nocardia otitidiscaviarum is a rare pathogen worldwide compared with other Nocardia species. Although Nocardia infections occur mainly in immunocompromised individuals and typically involve lungs and skin, cases in immunocompetent hosts have also been reported in recent years.

Case Report of a Solitary Brain Abscess due to <i>Nocardia veterana</i> in a Host Without Known Immunodeficiency. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Nocardiosis is a rare bacterial infection caused by a wide array of species of the genus Nocardia. These microbes are found ubiquitously in soil and cause infection mainly when immunocompromised hosts inhale these bacteria or from direct inoculation through breaks in the skin. Once infection is established, Nocardia spp.
