Nocardiosis

02/01/1997 - "Progress in epidemiological analysis of cases of nocardiosis will be consistent when an improved diagnosis of this infection (molecular and serological diagnosis) will be available, when the genetic diversity of Nocardia spp. isolates will be better known, and when molecular typing, that hold promise in complementing investigations of outbreak of these infections, will be systematically performed when an abnormal increase of cases of nocardiosis in a population with risk factors is observed."
12/01/2012 - "Opportunistic pulmonary infection with Nocardia species is rare in humans, and only a few studies have radiologically analyzed patients with pulmonary nocardiosis using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). "
04/01/2012 - "This study describes all cases of nocardial infection treated in the authors' hospital to provide more information about clinical manifestations, species isolated, treatment and outcome of patients with nocardiosis. "
10/01/2011 - "All candidates in the study population (n = 171) suffered from pulmonary infections, nocardiosis was diagnosed in 4% (n = 7), HIV-positive cases were 17 (9.9%). "
04/01/2008 - "Concomitant infection was the probable predisposing factor for intensive care unit admission for pulmonary nocardiosis in our study (p=0.019) and might obscure the isolation of nocardiae organisms and delay effective treatment. "

05/01/2012 - "Although disseminated nocardiosis has been increasing with the expansion of immunosuppressive therapy and improvement in diagnostic methods, muscle abscess is a rare complication. "
07/01/1954 - "Nocardiosis with multilocular cerebellar abscess; report of a cured case."
09/01/2015 - "The diagnosis of nocardiosis was bacteriologically confirmed by demonstrating the organism in lumbar puncture fluid in one patient and by an aspiration biopsy of the abscess in the other two. "
03/01/2014 - "He had previously been diagnosed with pulmonary nocardiosis and also had nocardial abscesses on his anterior chest wall. "
01/01/2014 - " abscess culture yielded an organism which was suspected to be Nocardia sp. We identified the organism as Nocardia brasiliensis and diagnosed abscess-type cutaneous nocardiosis. "

10/01/2011 - "The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of nocardiosis in HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals clinically suspected of having tuberculosis (TB). "
12/01/2014 - "Concurrent pulmonary nocardiosis and tuberculosis is frequent in HIV-infected patients. "
09/01/2014 - "Seventeen patients (54.8%) were reported and treated for tuberculosis, but presented signs and symptoms of nocardiosis. "
01/01/2013 - "Primary abdominal nocardiosis is an unusual cause for PID and an important differential diagnosis for tuberculosis."
05/01/2010 - "Nocardiosis is often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis in patients with HIV, as both diseases have similar manifestations. "

05/01/2010 - "Disseminated histoplasmosis and nocardiosis typically affect immunocompromised hosts. "
02/01/2009 - "Most of cases are represented by opportunistic infection: cryptococcosis, pneumocystis, nocardiosis, histoplasmosis. "
08/01/2005 - "Pulmonary nocardiosis, cryptococcosis, Kaposi's sarcoma, and (possibly) histoplasmosis appear to be infrequent, but probably underdiagnosed. "
01/01/1968 - "Sulfonamides in experimental nocardiosis, histoplasmosis, and South American blastomycosis."
01/01/1984 - "fumigatus in the IFA studies were non-existent in the sera from 28 patients with candidosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, paracoccidioidomycosis and nocardiosis. "

06/01/1984 - "[Aspergilloma, actinomycosis, nocardiosis, coccidioidomycosis and pulmonary bilharziasis: apropos of 19 cases]."
01/01/1984 - "fumigatus in the IFA studies were non-existent in the sera from 28 patients with candidosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, paracoccidioidomycosis and nocardiosis. "
05/01/2004 - "Candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, listeriosis, nocardiosis, and infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria were reported with significantly greater frequency among infliximab-treated patients. "
03/01/1972 - "They included 36 sera from clinically well persons; 78 from patients with various clinical forms of candidiasis; 52 from patients with proven cases of aspergillosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, nocardiosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, sporotrichosis, and tuberculosis; and one serum from a patient with toruloposis. "
12/01/1954 - "Pulmonary mycoses are divided into three groups, that is, the endogenous mycoses (actinomycosis, moniliasis, geotrichosis), the endogenous-exogenous mycoses (cryptococcosis, aspergillosis, mucormycosis) and the exogenous mycoses (nocardiosis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, North American blastomycosis).
