The first reported case of pulmonary infection with Nocardia caviae in Britain occurred in a 67 year old woman, in whom diabetes mellitus and liver cirrhosis probably contributed to impaired cell mediated immunity. She was successfully treated with gentamicin 60 mg eight hourly and sulphadimidine 500 mg six hourly for six months and then with sulphadimidine 2 g/day for a further three months. When Nocardia caviae is isolated from the sputum of a patient with chronic respiratory infection and fever, effective treatment should be started promptly.
英国首例关于豚鼠诺卡菌肺部感染的报告病例发生在一名67岁女性身上，糖尿病和肝硬化可能导致了其细胞介导免疫受损。她接受了为期6个月的治疗，静脉注射庆大霉素60mg，每8小时一次，口服磺胺嘧啶500mg，每6小时一次，随后又接受了为期3个月的治疗，口服磺胺嘧啶2g/天。当从慢性呼吸道感染和发热患者的痰液中分离出豚鼠诺卡菌时，应立即开始有效的治疗。
