Pulmonary nocardiosis: Under-diagnosed respiratory opportunistic infection – A case report

This is a case report that describe an association of AIDS, visceral leishmaniasis and probable disseminated tuberculosis. Due to the spread of AIDS in developing areas worldwide this association would be more frequently, seen on subjects from endemic areas where this protozoonosis is prevalent.

Mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection and the gastrointestinal form is the rarest.Rhizopus sp. is the most frequent pathogen and infection occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients. We describe the first case of intestinal mucormycosis occurring after aStreptococcus pyogenestoxic shock syndrome in a previously healthy patient caused byRhizopus microsporusvar.azygosporus.

Immunocompetent Patients

Pulmonary nocardiosis is a rare bacterial infection that may lead to severe disease in immunodeficient patients and usually not so common in immunocompetent patients. The report is about a 57-year-old male with Norcardiosis. His sputum and Bronchial Alveolar Lavage (BAL) were negative for acid-fast bacilli. Nocardia species was isolated in BAL culture. He was started on Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole and Clarithromycin, which was later continued for six months.
