Article Synopsis
- * Inhalation is the primary route of exposure, and nocardiosis can emerge from an infection elsewhere in the body, particularly concerning in older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
- * A specific case demonstrated how nocardial abscesses were misdiagnosed as lung cancer with brain metastases, but successful treatment involved surgical removal and antimicrobial therapy, resulting in a positive outcome.

Nocardia species usually cause opportunistic infections, and the frequency of these infections is increasing owing to the growing population of immunocompromised hosts. However, Nocardia may sometimes causes an infectious disease in immunocompetent hosts. Herein, we report two cases of pulmonary nocardiasis in immunocompetent individuals, whose chest computed tomography (CT) findings mimicked bronchiectasis.

Linezolid-induced lactic acidosis corrected with sustained low-efficiency dialysis: a case report.
Am J Kidney Dis
September 2014
Huntsville Hospital, Huntsville, AL.
Linezolid, an oxazolidinone antibiotic, has been reported to increase the risk of lactic acidosis and peripheral neuropathy because it disrupts mitochondrial function. This case report describes the development of lactic acidosis in a 63-year-old man who had received 3 months of treatment with intravenous linezolid for pulmonary nocardiasis, and correction of the acidotic state with sustained low-efficiency dialysis. This case demonstrates that renal replacement therapy can be an alternative to discontinuation alone for rapid reversal of linezolid-induced lactic acidosis.
