We describe an unusual case of pulmonary nocardiosis co-existing with Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome in a patient with autoimmune hemolytic anemia who was being treated with corticosteroids. This case highlights the importance of being aware of the possibility that infections can co-exist in immunosuppressed patients. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of co-infection with Nocardia asteroides and S. stercoralis.
我们描述了一例在自身免疫性溶血性贫血患者中并发肺诺卡菌病和粪类圆线虫重度感染综合征的不常见病例,该患者正在接受皮质类固醇治疗。该病例强调了认识到感染可能在免疫抑制患者中共存的重要性。据我们所知,这是首例报道的星状诺卡菌和粪类圆线虫合并感染。
