文摘

The first case of Nocardia elegans infection was reported in 2005. N. elegans accounts for only 0.3–0.6% of infections caused by Nocardia species. Almost all previous cases due to N. elegans have been associated with pulmonary infections. Rare cases of severe disseminated infection do occur. The diagnostics, susceptibility, and treatments remain unclear.
