  • Title: Central venous catheter-associated Nocardia bacteremia: an unusual manifestation of nocardiosis.
    Author: Kontoyiannis DP, Jacobson KL, Whimbey EE, Rolston KV, Raad II.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2000 Aug; 31(2):617-8. PubMed ID: 10987735.
    Abstract:
    Nocardia bacteremia is very rare. We report 2 cases of central venous catheter-associated Nocardia bacteremia and review the literature. The limited clinical experience suggests that discontinuing the catheter and embarking on a relatively short course of appropriate antibiotics results in a good outcome.
