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.

<i>Nocardia cyriacigeorgica</i> Identified by Bronchial Washing During Evaluation of Radiologic Progression in a Patient With Prior Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Diseases. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
In this case of pulmonary nocardiosis complicating prior nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, repeat bronchial washing cytology revealed filamentous organisms suggestive of ongoing nocardial infection despite negative cultures. Bronchoscopic sampling may therefore aid in not only initial diagnosis but also reassessment when sputum studies ...

Pulmonary Nocardiosis Diagnosed by Plasma Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in a Patient With Recurrent Febrile Neutropenia. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Background Nocardiosis disproportionately affects immunocompromised hosts. Early identification of Nocardia infections is critical as delays can lead to worse outcomes. Species such as N. farcinica are associated with increased risk of dissemination and resistance. Diagnosis of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised populations relies on culture,

Pulmonary <i>Nocardia paucivorans</i> Infection Mimicking Lung Cancer in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Background Pulmonary nocardiosis is uncommon and usually affects immunocompromised hosts, but it can occur in immunocompetent patients and mimic primary lung malignancy clinically and radiographically. Case Presentation A 52‐year‐old immunocompetent woman presented with one month of cough, hemoptysis, and mild shortness of breath after repeated hiking ...

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.

Arbor Accidents and Asteroids. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Nocardia infection should be considered in immunocompromised patients presenting with concurrent pulmonary and neurological symptoms. Species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are crucial. Co‐trimoxazole is the first‐line treatment.

Breakthrough Pulmonary Nocardiosis Due to <i>Nocardia cyriacigeorgica</i> in a Lung Transplant Recipient in Brazil: A Case Report Highlighting Management Without Susceptibility Testing. [PDF]

Case Rep Infect Dis
Background Nocardia infection is an emerging concern in solid organ recipients due to prolonged immunosuppression. Case Presentation We report the case of a 45‐year‐old woman with a history of cystic fibrosis who underwent bilateral lung transplantation. Eight years posttransplant, she developed progressive respiratory symptoms.

Pleuropulmonary nocardiosis, an unusual radiological presentation: Case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Nocardiosis is caused by strict aerobic filamentous bacteria of the genus Nocardia belonging to the order Actinomycetales with Actinomyces, Streptomyces and Mycobacterium. The radio-clinical presentation in the chest is often misleading. We report a case
