Abdominal nocardiosis in a Sudanese girl.

S A Salfield, B I Duerden, J A Dickson, R D Milner.   

Abstract

A Sudanese girl became desperately ill with liver and kidney abscesses due to Nocardia asteroides. She did not have pulmonary or cutaneous infection. She recovered after surgical drainage of the abscesses and prolonged treatment with intravenous amikacin and high dosage cotrimoxazole and sulphadimidine. After recovery normal neutrophil function, cell-mediated and humoral immunity were demonstrated.
