    Author: Ye Z, Shimomura H, Kudo S, Arao T, Sato Y, Ono T.
    Journal: J Dermatol; 1996 Feb; 23(2):120-4. PubMed ID: 8839240.
    Abstract:
    An 82-year-old Japanese male developed nodules and ulcers along the lymphatics after a fall in the garden of his house resulting in injuries to the dorsum of his left hand which lasted for 3 months. Nocardia brasiliensis was isolated from a nodule, supporting a diagnosis of the lymphocutaneous type of nocardiosis. He had previously developed generalized bone metastasis from prostatic cancer, and his resulting depressed immunity might have played a part in the nocardiosis genesis. Sixteen cases of the lymphocutaneous type of nocardiosis reported in Japan were reviewed.
