Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Nocardia farcinica is an increasingly common cause of human infection in Europe. We observed an isolated nodular subcutaneous abscess due to N. farcinica in the forearm of a young patient with overlap syndrome between systemic sclerosis and polymyositis. Despite in vitro resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, this oral combination completely resolved the lesion within 3 weeks and was maintained for 6 months. The spectrum of cutaneous nocardiosis in the immunocompromised host is discussed. |
