1. Peritonite piogranulomatosa por Nocardia concava em cão - relato de caso
RESUMO Nocardiose é causada por bactérias do gênero Nocardia do subgrupo Actinomycetos, que são Gram-positivas aeróbicas, filamentosas e podem apresentar ramificações. O diagnóstico baseia-se na presença de lesão inflamatória, com o microrganismo morfologicamente compatível, associada ao isolamento e à identificação microbiológica e molecular

2. Nocardia veterana: disseminated infection with urinary tract infection
Nocardia spp. are a group of aerobic actinomycetes widely distributed in soil, and associated with severe opportunistic infections, essentially pulmonary infections. We report the first case of disseminated infection associated with urinary tract infection caused by Nocardia veterana . The diagnosis was difficult; despite the presence of pulmonary nodules,

3. Long-term treatment of persistent disseminated Nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection
In this paper a disseminated persistent Nocardia cyriacigeorgicainfection in an immunocompetent patient is described. The patient's long-term treatment, as well as its implications for managing similar cases in the future, is emphasized. Presenting with high fever, multiple nodules, and ulcerative cutaneous lesions of body sites, the patient was treated with

4. Nocardial infections : report of 22 cases / Infecções por Nocardia species: relato de 22 casos
São apresentados 22 casos de infecção por Nocardia species entre 1977 e 1998, apresentando-se seu quadro clínico e evolução. Todos os pacientes cujos espécimes clínicos mostraram microorganismos sugestivos de Nocardia spp. à coloração de Gram, confirmados posteriormente por cultura, foram incluídos no estudo. Os dados dos pacientes que obtiveram

5. Actinomicetoses no Rio Grande do Sul : a propósito de 59 casos, atualizando actinomicose, nocardiose e rodococose / Actinomycetosis in Rio Grande do Sul: concerning 59 cases, updating actinomycosis, nocardiosis and rodoccocosis
Descrição: As doenças causadas por actinomicetos patógenos, aeróbios e anaeróbios facultativos, diferem consideravelmente no que diz respeito à sua etiologia, patogênese, apresentação clínica e epidemiologia. Objetivos: Analisar a distribuição etária, manifestações clínicas, doenças de base e condições associadas, achados radiológicos, m

6. Absceso recidivante por Nocardia asteroides en una paciente portadora de poliglobulia primaria
Nocardiosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is an uncommon disease, but its frequency has increased due to the high number of immunosuppressive treatments. People become infected by inhalation, direct traumatic cutaneous inoculation and eating contaminated food after a periodontal abscess. Lung localization is the most frequent one, being the origin of h

7. Primary pulmonary nocardiosis: case report
Hamal, P. B. (1974).Thorax, 29, 382-386. Primary pulmonary nocardiosis: a case report. A case of fulminating pulmonary nocardiosis is reported. Diagnosis was made before death but too late for treatment to be effective. At necropsy extensive multiple pulmonary abscesses with involvement of the pleura, resulting in an empyema, were discovered. One cervical no

8. Nocardiosis: a neglected chronic lung disease in Africa?
Nocardia organisms were cultured from the sputum of 11 patients at the central hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe, over a 12 month period. Pulmonary nocardiosis was diagnosed in one further patient on the basis of direct microscopy. Among the nine patients available for follow up, pulmonary nocardiosis was considered to be the major clinical problem in six. The p

9. Molecular study of persistence of Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia otitidiscaviarum strains in patients with long-term nocardiosis.
Three Nocardia asteroides and five Nocardia otitidiscaviarum isolates recovered from three patients with long-term nocardiosis were compared by random amplification of polymorphic DNA fingerprinting, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and enzymatic characterization. Results obtained with primer DKU49 (P. Palittapongarnpim, S. Chomyc, A. Fanning, and D. Kunim

10. Microimmunodiffusion Test for Nocardiosis
Sera from 71 patients with culturally proven nocardiosis were tested for precipitins against a pool of Nocardia asteroides and N. brasiliensis culture filtrates and against antigens from the supernatant of homogenized N. asteroides cells. A human nocardiosis case serum was used as a reference. Sera from 56 of the 71 cases were reactive with either the cultur

11. Urease-negative Nocardia asteroides causing cutaneous nocardiosis.
We report a case of cutaneous nocardiosis, caused by a urease-negative strain of Nocardia asteroides, in a patient who had undergone long-term corticosteroid therapy. The microbiological characteristics of the isolate were typical of N. asteroides except for the failure of the isolate to hydrolyze urea. During the course of routine identification, laboratory

12. Molecular study of nosocomial nocardiosis outbreak involving heart transplant recipients.
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis and rRNA gene restriction patterns (ribotyping) were compared as methods of investigating a nosocomial outbreak of nocardiosis involving three heart transplant recipients. No clear distinctions between three clinically related isolates and four unrelated strains were obtained by ribotyping. On the contrary, randoml
