  • Title: Nocardia asteroides abscess after heart transplantation.
    Author: Stamenkovic SA, Madden BP.
    Journal: J Heart Lung Transplant; 2001 Jul; 20(7):789-91. PubMed ID: 11448813.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient who developed a primary, thigh adductor-muscle abscess caused by Nocardia asteroides 3 years after orthotopic cardiac transplantation. Nocardia was diagnosed by microbiologic culture and responded fully to a prolonged course of cotrimoxazole. The patient remains free of local or systemic disease at 2 years follow-up.
