Bridging the Gap Between General and Transplant Infectious Disease Practice

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The population of iatrogenic immunocompromised individuals is steadily rising as we continue to improve in our ability to manage diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disease, and end‐organ dysfunction, with increasing access to novel agents and transplantation.

ERDHEIM‐Chester Disease: Two Fatal Cases With Unusual Presentations

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (FDG PET‐CT) demonstrated markedly increased metabolic activity in serosal surfaces including pericardium, pleura, and renal fascia, as well as diffuse uptake along vascular walls, particularly the entire aorta.

First report of a Buchananella hordeovulneris–associated pyothorax in a feline leukaemia virus‐positive cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 10‐month‐old, neutered, male domestic shorthair cat with outdoor access was presented with a thoracic wound, severe respiratory distress, cachexia, dehydration and pleural effusion. Imaging confirmed bilateral pyothorax. Haematology showed marked neutrophilia with left shift, mild anaemia, thrombocytopenia and lymphocytosis.

Lung Biopsies in Patients Referred for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Diagnostic Accuracy, Diagnostic Yield, and Clinical Utility

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Among patients referred for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with pulmonary opacities, lung biopsy provided a diagnosis in 72% of procedures and altered management in 51%. Despite a 7% major complication rate, lung biopsy frequently clarified noninfectious etiologies when bronchoscopy was inconclusive.

Arbor Accidents and Asteroids

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
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.

Pulmonary nocardiosis: Report of two cases from a tertiary care hospital

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2019
Pulmonary nocardiosis is an uncommon bacterial infection that may lead to severe disease in immunocompromised patients. The disease is rare in immunocompetent patients.

NCY‐1 β‐Lactamase Activity Correlates With Antimicrobial Susceptibility of a Clinical Strain of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study shows a strong correlation between the β‐lactam susceptibility profile of a clinical isolate of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and the activity of its β‐lactamase, NCY‐1. Inhibitors of NCY‐1 reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration of amoxicillin.

Endobronchial Enigma: A Clinically Rare Presentation of Nocardia beijingensis in an Immunocompetent Patient

Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2015
Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection caused by the Gram-positive weakly acid-fast, filamentous aerobic Actinomycetes. The lungs are the primary site of infection mainly affecting immunocompromised patients. In rare circumstances even immunocompetent

A fatal case of pulmonary nocardiosis [PDF]

BMJ Case Reports, 2012
Pulmonary nocardiosis is a serious, most often considered an opportunistic infection affecting the respiratory tract. Even though it is more common in immunocompromised hosts, it is not infrequently seen in immunocompetent patients as well. The aerosol route is the main portal of entry in to the body.

Rapid Serological Detection of Anti‐GM‐CSF Autoantibodies in Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Using a Novel Immunochromatographic Test

Respirology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 184-192, February 2026.
We developed a novel ICT with high clinical performance that can distinguish APAP patients from those with other pulmonary diseases. The rapid and simple detection of GMAbs in serum provided a new practical method for the diagnosis of APAP. See related editorial ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Anti‐GM‐CSF autoantibodies (GMAbs) are essential ...
