| nocardia exalbida brain abscess in a patient with follicular lymphoma. | nocardial brain abscess is a rare but severe complication in patients with malignancy. nocardia exalbida was isolated in japan and characterized within the genus nocardia. we present the first report of n. exalbida brain abscess in a 63-year-old male patient with follicular lymphoma. he developed abnormal neurological findings during follicular lymphoma treatment, brain ct revealed ring-enhancing, multiloculated lesions, and n. exalbida was detected by aspiration of the lesion. he was successful ... | 2008 | 18498026 |
| pulmonary nocardiosis caused by nocardia exalbida complicating pneumocystis pneumonia in an hiv-infected patient. | a 47-year-old man with optimally controlled type-2 diabetes mellitus and chronic hepatitis b was admitted to a local hospital because of a 1-week history of cough and high-grade fever. he was diagnosed with pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) and klebsiella pneumonia from a chest radiograph and sputum. simultaneously, he was found to have hiv infection with a cd4 count of 76/μl. despite alteration of treatment secondary to the development of allergic reaction to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (tmp-smx), ... | 2011 | 21249414 |
| isolated nocardia exalbida endogenous endophthalmitis. | purpose: to report an immunocompetent patient with nocardia exalbida endogenous endophthalmitis. design: case report. methods: clinical-pathologic correlation and microbiologic evaluation were performed on an enucleated eye. results: a 56-year-old man presented with rapidly progressive vision loss associated with a posterior choroidal mass and serous retinal detachment. pathologic evaluation of the enucleated eye demonstrated endogenous endophthalmitis. nocardia exalbida was identified microbiol ... | 2011 | 21770800 |

| molecular identification of nocardia isolates from clinical samples and an overview of human nocardiosis in brazil. | nocardia sp. causes a variety of clinical presentations. the incidence of nocardiosis varies geographically according to several factors, such as the prevalence of hiv infections, transplants, neoplastic and rheumatic diseases, as well as climate, socio-economic conditions and laboratory procedures for nocardia detection and identification. in brazil the paucity of clinical reports of nocardia infections suggests that this genus may be underestimated as a cause of human diseases and/or either ne ... | 2013 | 24340116 |
