  • Title: Rare case of Nocardia asteroides pericarditis in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient.
    Author: Jinno S, Jirakulaporn T, Bankowski MJ, Kim W, Wong R.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2007 Jul; 45(7):2330-3. PubMed ID: 17507517.
    Abstract:
    Nocardia asteroides was isolated after prolonged culture from the pericardial fluid of a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. The lengthy duration required for culture growth and identification of this N. asteroides isolate affected both initial therapeutic decisions and patient management. A proposed algorithm for the microbiological workup of pericardial fluid for possible Nocardia spp. is described in an effort to improve the timeliness of results.
