  • Title: Cutaneous abscesses due to systemic nocardiosis--a case report.
    Author: Curley RK, Hayward T, Holden CA.
    Journal: Clin Exp Dermatol; 1990 Nov; 15(6):459-61. PubMed ID: 2279346.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with systemic nocardiosis who developed cutaneous abscesses following haematogenous spread from a primary infection in the lung. This case is unusual; first in that the organism assumed a granular form on histological section, and secondly that the patient was not immunocompromised, emphasizing the need to consider nocardiosis in any patient with pleuropulmonary infection and cutaneous abscesses.
