    Author: Yu X, Han F, Wu J, He Q, Peng W, Wang Y, Huang H, Li H, Wang R, Chen J.
    Journal: Transpl Infect Dis; 2011 Aug; 13(4):385-91. PubMed ID: 21824241.
    Abstract:
    Nocardiosis is a rare but life-threatening opportunistic infection, especially in immune compromised patients, including kidney transplant recipients. Primary pulmonary infection is the most common clinical pattern, and can easily result in disseminated Nocardia infection if treatment therapy is not adequate at the beginning. In this article, we report a new case of disseminated nocardiosis (lungs, skin, and pericardium) after renal allograft transplantation. We also review the English literature published from 1980 to 2010 and analyze the clinical characteristics of nocardiosis in kidney transplant recipients.
