  • Title: Lymphocutaneous nocardiosis: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Bryant E, Davis CL, Kucenic MJ, Mark LA.
    Journal: Cutis; 2010 Feb; 85(2):73-6. PubMed ID: 20349680.
    Abstract:
    Nocardiosis remains a fairly uncommon disease in the United States. Cutaneous nocardiosis is one of many infections that can spread in a sporotrichoid pattern and therefore can be difficult to diagnose without a high index of suspicion. It is mainly caused by Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis, with N brasiliensis isolated in most cases of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis. We present a case of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis in a 65-year-old immunosuppressed man and review the literature.
