    Abstract:
    A middle aged female suffering from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), on treatment with steroids, developed bronchopneumonia and pyopneumothorax due to opportunistic infection by Nocardia asteroides. Aspirates obtained from the lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and bone marrow were positive for Nocardia asteroides, confirming disseminated infection in an immunocompromised host. The patient succumbed to the infection.
