Popis:	We describe a case of ventriculitis and choroid plexitis caused by a multidrug-resistant Nocardia pseudobrasiliensis in an immunocompetent child. Difficulties establishing an etiologic diagnosis, inconsistencies of antibiotic susceptibility testing, and the side effects of various antimicrobials presented challenges to her treatment and eventual favorable outcome.
