Disseminated Nocardia otitidiscaviarum in a patient with AIDS.

R M Sandre1, R C Summerbell.   

Abstract

A case of disseminated infection due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum is described in a Caucasian man infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The patient presented with no previous AIDS-defining conditions, a CD4 lymphocyte count of 206 cells/mm(3) and enlarging intra-abdominal and chest wall abscesses with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. Aggressive surgical debridement and antimicrobial therapy with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and amikacin resulted in clinical cure. Long term suppressive therapy was needed to prevent relapse.
