Nocardia brain abscess in a liver transplant recipient.

Jung Hyeon Moon1, Won-Sang Cho, Hyun-Seung Kang, Jeong Eun Kim.   

Abstract

Nocardia brain abscess is rare. We report on a unique case of N. farcinica brain abscess in a liver transplant recipient, following Aspergillus fumigatus pneumonia. A 43-year-old liver transplant recipient presented with altered mentality at 2 months after A. fumigates pneumonia. He was successfully treated with surgical removal and antibiotic therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ceftriaxone.
