  • Title: Disseminated Nocardia asteroides with pustules.
    Author: Shapiro PE, Grossman ME.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1989 May; 20(5 Pt 2):889-92. PubMed ID: 2654222.
    Abstract:
    A case of disseminated Nocardia asteroides in a renal transplant recipient with cavitary lung lesions and cutaneous pustules is presented. Disseminated nocardiosis is a rare disease that occurs chiefly in the immunocompromised host and usually begins as a pleuropulmonary infection. Disseminated nocardiosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of pustules in immunosuppressed patients.
