Abstract

ABSTRACT Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is a recently characterized species within the genus of Nocardia . We report a brain abscess, following a primary pulmonary colonization, due to this species in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. This case confirms that isolation of Nocardia in sputum is associated with a high risk of disseminated infection in immunocompromised patients.
