Pulmonary Reinfection by Nocardia in an Immunocompetent Patient with Bronchiectasis.
Internal Medicine 2018 September 2
Pulmonary reinfection by Nocardia has been rarely reported. We describe a case of pulmonary reinfection by Nocardia in an immunocompetent patient. An 82-year-old immunocompetent woman with bronchiectasis presented with exacerbation of cough. She had a history of pulmonary nocardiosis three years earlier. At that time, Nocardia species were cultured from the sputum and identified as N. cyriacigeorgica with 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. In the present episode, cultures of sputum and bronchial washing specimens grew N. beijingensis, which was identified with 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Pulmonary reinfection by different Nocardia species can occur in immunocompetent patients.
