  • Title: Unilateral vocal cord paralysis as a result of a Nocardia farcinica laryngeal abscess.
    Author: Cohen E, Blickstein D, Inbar E, Samra Z, Weinberger M.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 2000 Mar; 19(3):224-7. PubMed ID: 10795598.
    Abstract:
    Nocardia farcinica is an emerging pathogen in immunocompromised hosts, accounting for 20% of Nocardia isolates in the USA and 13-44% of isolates in Europe. The case of a 72-year-old lymphoma patient with a laryngeal abscess caused by Nocardia farcinica is presented. The initial clinical manifestation was unilateral vocal cord paralysis, which improved following surgical drainage of the abscess and therapy with imipenem. The English-language literature on human Nocardia farcinica infection is reviewed.
