  • Title: Nocardia farcinica brain abscess in an immunocompetent patient treated with antibiotics and two surgical techniques.
    Author: Chung TT, Lin JC, Hsieh CT, Chen GJ, Ju DT.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2009 Dec; 16(12):1675-7. PubMed ID: 19800240.
    Abstract:
    Nocardia farcinica brain abscesses rarely occur in immunocompetent hosts. We present a patient with an N. farcinica brain abscess. This was confirmed by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing and was successfully treated using one medical and two different surgical techniques, highlighting the important role of surgical intervention if antibiotic treatment fails.
