Roentgen Manifestations of Pulmonary Nocardiosis
Radiology, 1970Abstract Nocardia is an uncommon, opportunistic infecting organism. The radiographic appearance of pulmonary nocardiosis is most commonly cavitary or lobar infiltration. Particular attention is focused upon the acute necrotizing course of nocardiosis as experienced in 5 patients. Difficulty with laboratory diagnosis, the frequent use of steroid therapy,

CT Findings of Pulmonary Nocardiosis
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2011Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection that primarily affects the lungs. Most infected patients have deficits in cell-mediated immunity such as those with AIDS, transplant recipients, and those receiving corticosteroid therapy. We review the various CT appearances of pulmonary nocardiosis and discuss the differential diagnosis.Common CT findings ...

Six cases of pulmonary nocardiosis are reported. All patients were compromised hosts treated with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressive agents. The clinical presentations ranged from malaise to respiratory failure. The radiological manifestations varied from a solitary nodule to extensive cavitary bronchopneumonia with distant dissemination.

To evaluate CT findings of pulmonary nocardiosis in immunocompromised patients. MATERIALS ALND METHODS: Five patients with bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary nocardiosis were evaluated. Four patients were receiving corticosteroids with or without other immunosuppressive drugs for lupus nephritis (two patients), idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura ...

Pulmonary nocardiosis is an uncommon but serious infection that is increasingly found in immunosuppressed persons, especially transplant recipients and persons with AIDS. The Nocardia species are denizens of soil and decaying plants that gain entry to humans through inhalation or inoculation.

Fulminating Pulmonary Nocardiosis
Diseases of the Chest, 1964SUMMARY 1.Nocardiosis is a chronic infection of skin, lung, and brain caused in almost all cases by Nocardia asteroides. 2.A fatal case of pulmonary nocardiosis which probably developed while on antibiotic therapy is reported. 3.The mycology, pathology and clinical picture are reviewed. 4.Sulfadiazine in a dose of 4 to 6 gm.

Endobronchial pulmonary nocardiosis.
JAMA, 1986PULMONARY nocardiosis presents with a highly variable clinical and roentgenographic picture that can often mimic granulomatous disease or neoplasm. 1-4 A review of the literature describes only one previous report of pulmonary nocardial infection with an associated endobronchial mass.
