Nocardia species are Gram-positive bacteria responsible for systemic or cutaneous infections in humans. Nocardia brasiliensis is the most common infective agent in the cutaneous form of nocardiosis. We describe a case of a previously healthy man, who presented with lymphocutaneous Nocardia brasiliensis infection, and was successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The identification of the isolate was confirmed by nucleotide sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene.
诺卡菌属是革兰氏阳性菌，可引起人类的全身性或皮肤感染。巴西诺卡菌是皮肤型诺卡菌病最常见的感染病原体。我们描述了一例既往健康的男性病例，该患者出现了巴西诺卡菌的淋巴皮肤感染，并通过复方新诺明成功治愈。通过对16S rRNA基因进行核苷酸序列分析，证实了分离菌株的鉴定结果。
