A case of a localized testicular abscess due to Nocardia asteroides in a patient on immunosuppressive therapy for a myeloproliferative disorder is reported. Subsequent fatal dissemination of the infection to the prostate, lungs, and liver occurred. This represents the second reported case of nocardiosis of the testis. Extrapulmonary forms of nocardiosis must be recognized so that appropriate treatment can be instituted prior to dissemination.
报告了一例患有骨髓增殖性疾病并接受免疫抑制治疗的患者,因星形诺卡菌引起局部睾丸脓肿。随后感染致命性播散至前列腺、肺和肝脏。这是第二例报告的睾丸诺卡菌病病例。必须认识到肺外形式的诺卡菌病,以便在播散之前开始适当治疗。
