  • Title: First report of a brain abscess caused by Nocardia veterana.
    Author: Arends JE, Stemerding AM, Vorst SP, de Neeling AJ, Weersink AJ.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2011 Dec; 49(12):4364-5. PubMed ID: 21998437.
    Abstract:
    Among Nocardia species causing infections, Nocardia veterana is rarely isolated and is mostly described as causing pulmonary infections. This is the first presentation of a case of brain abscess attributable to an N. veterana infection in a patient with type 2 diabetes. Prolonged antibiotic therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole led to successful clinical recovery.
