Abstract
Nocardiosis is a common opportunistic infection in many immunocompromised conditions. It can present with various clinical syndromes, especially pleuropulmonary infection. Culture may not yield the organism but modified acid-fast staining is very helpful in diagnosis. Drug susceptibility testing should be performed due to increasing resistance to TMP-SMX.
