Skin nocardiosis is an uncommon form of cutaneous infection caused by Nocardia. More than 100 different species have been isolated and they mainly inhabit soil and water. Cutaneous affection can be divided into primary and secondary forms. Cell culture is the most used diagnosis method and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole the antibiotic treatment.We present a patient diagnosed with skin nocardiosis whose way of inoculation has not been described in the literature. However in future this kind of infection will probably increase due to the increasing interest in phytotherapy. Physicians should be aware of clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment.
皮肤诺卡菌病是由诺卡菌引起的一种罕见的皮肤感染形式。已分离出100多种不同的菌种，它们主要存在于土壤和水中。皮肤感染可分为原发性和继发性。细胞培养是最常用的诊断方法，抗生素治疗则使用甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑。我们报告了一名被诊断为皮肤诺卡菌病的患者，其感染途径在文献中尚未有描述。然而，由于对植物疗法的兴趣增加，未来这类感染可能会增多。医生应了解其临床表现、诊断和治疗方法。
