| Abstrakt: |
Primary cutaneous nocardiosis is an infrequent opportunistic infection that mainly affects immunodepressed hosts. We describe two immunocompetent patients who exhibited two clinical forms of cutaneous nocardiosis, a mycetoma from walking barefoot in contaminated water and in the case of the other patient a lymphocutaneous form on the basis of a stabbing-cutting injury. In both cases the tests performed ruled out any immunodeficiency, particularly chronic granulomatose disease, since nocardiosis is regarded as an infection that acts as a marker for that illness. Treatment with cotrimoxazole led to the total healing of the lesions in both patients. |
