BACKGROUND Nocardiosis primarily occurs in the setting of immunocompromising conditions. However, it may also occur in immunocompetent patients. We described computed tomography features of pulmonary nocardiosis and compared immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. MATERIAL/METHODS CT images of 25 patients (Mean age of 39.5 years; 76% male) with pulmonary nocardiosis proved by bronchoa...
Ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) syndrome (EAS) associated with nocardiosis is rare, and little information is available regarding its clinical characteristics. In this study, the case of a 35-year-old male patient who showed significant cushingoid features and had a cough with yellow phlegm for 1 month is described. Pulmonary computed tomography (CT) scanning and 18F-fluorodeoxygluco...
Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma of the lung is a rare tumour, originally described as intravascular bronchioalveolar tumour. The typical clinical findings are those of bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules in young or middle aged Caucasian women. Pulmonary nocardiosis is an unusual disease affecting patients with immunodeficiency or chronic obstructive lung disease. The first case of pulmonary...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical features of pulmonary nocardiosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed ten consecutive patients (5 men, 5 women; aged 25 to 80 years (average 49.3 years)) with confirmed bacteriological pulmonary nocardiosis from 1998 to 2003. Patients were divided into two groups: infected (8 patients) and isolated (2 patients). RESULTS All patients had pr...
isolation of nocardia from patients with bronchopulmonary disorders by using paraffin bait technique
170 patients admitted to shariaty hospital pulmonary ward were studied for pulmonary nocardiosis during 17 months (aug 1990-jan 1992). paraffin baiting was used and nocardia asteroides isolated in five cases from sputum, pleural fluid and bronchial washing. the technique used in this study inhibits growth of other organism and yeast and is reliable, simple and cheap for isolation of nocardia fr...
Nocardiosis is a rare bacterial infection of either the lungs (pulmonary) or body (systemic) that usually affects immunocompromised individuals. It is caused by Gram-positive, aerobic actinomycetes of the Nocardia genus. Multiple high-density sheet shadows in both lungs along with nodules or cavities are the most common presentations of nocardiosis, whereas a large pulmonary mass is considered ...
BACKGROUND Pulmonary nocardiosis frequently occurs in immunocompromised hosts and in some immunocompetent hosts with chronic lung disease; however, few reports have described pulmonary nocardiosis with nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infection. Here we report for the first time two cases of pulmonary nocardiosis caused by Nocardia cyriacigeorgica associated with Mycobacterium avium complex (M...
Haml, P. B. (1974). Thorax, 29, 382-386. Primary pulmonary nocardiosis: a case report. A case of fulminating pulmonary nocardiosis is reported. Diagnosis was made before death but too late for treatment to be effective. At necropsy extensive multiple pulmonary abscesses with involvement of the pleura, resulting in an empyema, were discovered. One cervical node showed a similar abscess. No brain...
Background: Pulmonary Nocardiosis is an infrequent infection whose incidence seems to be on the rise due to a higher degree of clinical suspicion and to an increasing number of immunosuppressive factors. The present investigation was carried out to detect Nocardiosis in immunocompromised patients confined in the pulmonary ward of Tehran’s Shariati Training Hospital through the use of indirect i...
