Two cases of Noca dia asteroides infection were encountered out of 55 kidney transplant patients at Chiba University Hospital. One patient developed an extrapleural abscess and the other had a pulmonary infiltration with chest wall abscess. The patients were successfully treated by surgical drainage of the chest wall abscesses and by oral administration of minocycline. No adverse effects caused by minocycline were observed during the therapy. From 1900, when the first case of Nocardia infection was reported in Japan, there have been 60 cases reported in Japanese literature through 1973, including those we observed. This is the first report on nocardiosis in kidney transplant patients and on successful treatment of nocardiosis with minocycline in Japan.
在千叶大学医院的55例肾移植患者中，发现了2例星形诺卡菌感染病例。1例患者发生了胸膜外脓肿，另1例有肺部浸润伴胸壁脓肿。通过胸壁脓肿的外科引流和口服米诺环素，患者得到了成功治疗。治疗期间未观察到米诺环素引起的不良反应。自1900年日本报道首例诺卡菌感染病例以来，至1973年日本文献中已报道了60例，包括我们观察到的病例。这是日本关于肾移植患者诺卡菌病及米诺环素成功治疗诺卡菌病的首例报告。
