  • Title: Primary cutaneous nocardiosis.
    Author: Jiang S, Jiang G, Lei TC.
    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2014 Nov; 24 Suppl 3():S176-7. PubMed ID: 25518763.
    Abstract:
    Nocardiosis is a rare human infection due to ubiquitous soil born gram-positive, filametous aerobic bacteria. First signs are frequently cutaneous either as part of systemic infection disseminated to the skin, or as primary cutaneous inoculation. An 88 years old man presented with a 3-day history of red papules and pustules with pain on his forehead. The combination of the unusual clinical presentation, laboratory examinations, and a favorable response to co-trimoxazole therapy were consistent with a diagnosis of primary cuteneous nocardiosis. Early recognition and treatment of the disease will improve the cure rate.
