Abstract

We present a case of pulmonary nocardiosis in an immunocompetent patient with bronchiectasis in the middle lobe and lingula. The radiologic findings were pulmonary nodules, areas of consolidation, and multiple bronchiolar impactions. The patient died and the definitive diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy. Nocardiosis should be taken into account in patients with exacerbation of bronchiectasis.
