| Abstrakt: | Nocardia are Gram-positive, acid-fast, filamentous bacteria that cause opportunistic infections in susceptible populations. We describe a case of post-transplant infection of pulmonary nocardiosis caused by the rare strain Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and the challenges faced in reaching a definitive diagnosis. This case report emphasizes on keeping nocardiosis as a differential diagnosis in transplant recipients, as this disease is largely underdiagnosed and underreported. Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest. (© 2023 The Authors.) |
