Disseminated Cerebral and Intradural Extramedullary Spinal Nocardiosis in an Immunocompetent Patient

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2015
Disseminated nocardiosis of the central nervous system (CNS) has been rarely reported, especially in the immunocompetent patient. We report a case of cerebral and cervical intradural extramedullary nocardiosis likely to have been the result of ...

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica Identified by Bronchial Washing During Evaluation of Radiologic Progression in a Patient With Prior Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Diseases

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
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 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.

A Case of Disseminated Nocardiosis due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum With Pulmonary Infection and a Thyroid Abscess

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
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.

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.
