Nocardia spp. can cause pulmonary infection, usually in the setting of immunosuppression or underlying lung disease. There have been a few reports of these organisms isolated from cystic fibrosis patients and, when recovered, the isolates were almost always Nocardia asteroides. We present the first reported case of a child with cystic fibrosis harboring Nocardia farcinica.
诺卡菌属可引起肺部感染,通常发生在免疫抑制或存在基础肺部疾病的情况下。已有一些关于从囊性纤维化患者中分离出这些微生物的报道,并且分离出的菌株几乎总是星形诺卡菌。我们报告了首例患有囊性纤维化且携带豚鼠耳炎诺卡菌的儿童病例。
