Title
Pulmonary nocardiosis in a patient receiving immunosuppressive agent
A 20-year-old woman receiving corticosteroid treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus developed pulmonary nocardiosis with hydropneumothorax. The organism identified as Nocardia asteroides resisted sulfonamide and cotrimoxazole but was sensitive to chloramphenicol and streptomycin in vitro. She seemed to respond to chloramphenicol but subsequently had peritonitis and succumbed later.
