We describe a 53-year-old man without discernable immunocompromise who presented with cerebral and cutaneous dissemination of primary pulmonary Nocardia paucivorans infection. This report also identifies 32 other patients in our health area with clinical isolates of N. paucivorans over the last 20 years, extending the reported spectrum of disease caused by this organism. At least 30% (10/33) of these patients had disseminated disease indicating a propensity of this species to disseminate.
