We report a case of femorotibial osteomyelitis due to Nocardia brasiliensis. Nocardia spp are a rare cause of bone infections, and the majority of such cases are associated with the spine. This type of osteomyelitis is uncommon, and in the immunocompetent host, is more often related to a chronic evolution following direct inoculation of the microorganism.
我们报告一例由巴西奴卡菌引起的股胫骨髓炎病例。奴卡菌属是骨感染的罕见病因，此类病例大多与脊柱相关。这种类型的骨髓炎并不常见，在免疫功能正常的宿主中，更常与微生物直接接种后的慢性病程相关。
