    Abstract:
    Nocardial brain abscesses remain a clinical challenge. We successfully treated a patient with nocardial brain abscess, mycetoma, pneumonia, and glomerulonephritis. Nocardial soft tissue involvement, mycetoma, is well known. However, the fact that actinomycetoma can metastasize may not be as well appreciated. The association between nocardiosis and glomerulonephritis should be better clarified.
