Concurrent nocardia related brain abscess and semi-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient.

Mi Kyong Joung1, Doo-Sik Kong, Jae-Hoon Song, Kyong Ran Peck.   

Abstract

We describe here the first case of a concurrent brain abscess caused by Norcardia spp. and semi-invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in an immunocompetent patient. After one year of appropriate antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage of the brain abscess, the nocardia brain abscess and pulmonary aspergillosis have resolved.
