  • Title: [Pulmonary nocardiosis as a cause of radiographic imaging of multiple pulmonary nodules].
    Author: Pifarré R, Teixidó B, Vilá M, Duran M, García JM, Morera J.
    Journal: Arch Bronconeumol; 2001 Dec; 37(11):511-2. PubMed ID: 11734142.
    Abstract:
    Lung nocardiosis is a rare disease affecting patients with lymphoreticular neoplasm, immunodeficiency or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; it can also affect patients who have received transplants. We report a case of lung nocardiosis in which radiographic presentation was acute, with a pattern of multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules ("cannonballs"), requiring us to rule out metastatic disease to arrive at a diagnosis. The patient responded slowly to antibiotic treatment until full resolution.
