Abstract Pulmonary nocardiosis is a rare disease that is often difficult to cure because of its tendency to recur. Here, we report a case of refractory localized pulmonary nocardiosis caused by Nocardia mexicana. A 60‐year‐old Japanese woman had recurring pulmonary nocardiosis four times previously and each time she was treated with antibiotics for a sufficient duration; nevertheless, the disease continued to recur, probably because of resistance to antibiotics. As a fifth treatment, we performed middle lobe resection and pre‐ and post‐operative antimicrobial therapy for 6 months. The combination of medication and surgery was useful for treating refractory localized pulmonary nocardiosis |
