This report describes a pregnant woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune hepatitis who presented with threatened labour and acute renal failure. She developed respiratory distress, haematemesis and became coagulopathic. Intrauterine death occurred and she was admitted to the intensive care unit after caesarean section. She suffered sudden cardiovascular collapse and succumbed. At autopsy, Nocardia was cultured from multiple renal abscesses. The co-existence of Nocardia sepsis, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune hepatitis and pregnancy are discussed. This case illustrates diagnostic challenges associated with Nocardia infection in the presence of co-existing disease.
