Three months after undergoing heart transplantation, a 55-year-old man presented with N. brasiliensis cellulitis resulting from a splinter wound acquired during yard work. Surgical débridement was necessary before the infection responded to medical treatment. Although pulmonary nocardiosis is a well-documented complication of immunosuppressive therapy, this is the 1st report of a nocardial infection associated with primary skin involvement in a heart transplant patient.
一名55岁男性在接受心脏移植三个月后,因庭院工作中获得的木刺伤口引发巴西奴卡菌蜂窝织炎。在感染对药物治疗产生反应之前,需要进行手术清创。虽然肺诺卡菌病是免疫抑制治疗的一种已充分记录的并发症,但这是首例心脏移植患者原发性皮肤受累相关的诺卡菌感染报告。
