Nocardiosis remains a fairly uncommon disease in the United States. Cutaneous nocardiosis is one of many infections that can spread in a sporotrichoid pattern and therefore can be difficult to diagnose without a high index of suspicion. It is mainly caused by Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis, with N brasiliensis isolated in most cases of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis. We present a case of lymphocutaneous nocardiosis in a 65-year-old immunosuppressed man and review the literature.
在美国，诺卡菌病仍然是一种相当罕见的疾病。皮肤诺卡菌病是多种可呈孢子丝菌病样传播的感染之一，因此，如果没有高度的怀疑指数，可能难以诊断。它主要由星形诺卡菌和巴西诺卡菌引起，在大多数皮肤淋巴管型诺卡菌病病例中分离出的是巴西诺卡菌。我们报告一例65岁免疫抑制男性的皮肤淋巴管型诺卡菌病病例并复习相关文献。
