    Author: Hara H, Wakui F, Ochiai T.
    Journal: J Med Microbiol; 2011 Jun; 60(Pt 6):847-850. PubMed ID: 21372184.
    Abstract:
    Here, we describe a patient with disseminated systemic nocardiosis. He had a history of systemic lupus erythematosus and had received oral prednisolone for 7 months. Nocardia farcinica was isolated from the pus. There were neither clinical nor radiologic features of pulmonary nocardiosis. The patient was treated with oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, intravenous imipenem and surgical drainage with a good clinical response, and there has been no recurrence of the infection.
