Aims: To assess the incidence of nocardia infection over 15 years in a tertiary care hospital.
Methods: Over a 15 year period, Nocardia spp were isolated from 20 patients hospitalised at …

Nocardiosis occurs in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. We aimed
to assess how its characteristics differ depending on patients' immune status. Of a total of 54 …

Nocardia species are ubiquitous soil organisms that often infect patients with underlying
