Acute mastoiditis, an infectious inflammatory process in the temporal bone, is an uncommon complication of otitis media. Here we describe a fatal case of mastoiditis complicated by thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus and intracerebral abscess caused by an unusual pathogen (Nocardia asteroides) in a person with HIV infection. Sulfonamides have remained the first-line agents for the management of Noc...
Nocardia could be transmitted to lungs through dust particles then transmitted to other organs via vascular system. We describe a 11-year old boy presenting with headache and vomiting. CT studies revealed hemorrhage in his right hemisphere as well as cerebral edema. He was hospitalized with primary diagnosis of hydrocephaly and pseudotumor cerebri. Further studies showed nocardia astroides in a...
Nocardiosis is an uncommon Gram-positive bacterial infection caused by aerobic actinomycetes in the genus Nocardia. Nocardia spp. have the ability to cause localized or systemic suppurative disease in humans and animals. Nocardiosis is typically regarded as an opportunistic infection, but approximately one-third of infected patients are immunocompetent. We report a rare case of pulmonary nocard...
Nocardia is a rare opportunistic agent, which may affect immunocompromised individuals causing lung infections and exceptionally infective endocarditis (IE). There are few reports of IE caused by Nocardia sp., usually involving biological prostheses but rarely in natural valves. Its accurate microbiological identification may be hampered by the similarity with Rhodococcus equi and Corynebacteri...
Nocardia is a rare cause of delayed onset postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery and it usually carries a guarded visual prognosis. Purpose. To highlight the clinical presentation, microbiological profile, and treatment outcome in a case of nocardial endophthalmitis after manual small incision cataract surgery. Methods. This case report highlights the typical features of Nocardia ...
Nocardiosis results from infection with bacteria of genus Nocardia, which are saprophytic aerobic actinomycetes that commonly reside in soil relatively and inactive on standard biochemical tests. Pulmonary systemic nocardiosis is common adult males, almost all being sporadic, tuberculosis endemic regions usually seen individuals deficient cell mediated immunity. It may present as pneumonia, emp...
