Abstract

Disseminated Nocardia caviae infection occurs only rarely. To date, two cases have been recorded in the literature. We describe a third case of systemic N. caviae infection in a compromised host and compare it with the first two cases. Postmortem, microbiologic and antibiotic sensitivity data are included.
