MRI findings in patient with primary cutaneous nocardiosis: A case report
Nocardia is a genus of gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic bacteria that belongs to the Actinomycetales order. With over 50 species, it is ubiquitous in dust, soil, decaying organic matter, and stagnant water. Inhalation of the pathogen often leads to pulmonary nocardiosis, while extrapulmonary noca...

| description | Nocardia is a genus of gram-positive, filamentous, aerobic bacteria that belongs to the Actinomycetales order. With over 50 species, it is ubiquitous in dust, soil, decaying organic matter, and stagnant water. Inhalation of the pathogen often leads to pulmonary nocardiosis, while extrapulmonary nocardiosis can affect the central nervous system, skin, and subcutaneous tissues. Primary cutaneous nocardiosis occurs when the pathogen is introduced through a skin lesion or insect bite, for example, this report presents a case of primary cutaneous nocardiosis in a patient with Minimal Change Glomerulonephritis and iatrogenic immunosuppression. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed extensive involvement of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and lower limb muscles. |
