  • Title: Bacteremic pneumonia caused by Nocardia veterana in an HIV-infected patient.
    Author: Liu WL, Lai CC, Hsiao CH, Hung CC, Huang YT, Liao CH, Hsueh PR.
    Journal: Int J Infect Dis; 2011 Jun; 15(6):e430-2. PubMed ID: 21481624.
    Abstract:
    Disseminated Nocardia veterana infection has rarely been reported. We describe the first reported case of N. veterana bacteremic pneumonia in an HIV-infected patient. The isolate was confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing analysis. The patient initially responded well to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treatment (minimum inhibitory concentration 0.25 μg/ml), but died of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
