Nocardia infection presenting with papulopustular lesions in a patient with pediatric leukemia

Öz

Nocardia is an anaerobic gram-positive bacterium and it is transmitted through inhalation of spores or by direct injection. Nocardia generally does not cause infections in healthy individuals, the agent may become pathogenic in the presence of malignant diseases that impair cellular immunity, and in individuals who are treated with steroids or immunosuppressives. Case reports related to Nocardia farcinica infections generally describe older patients. Herein; we report a patient, who were receiving maintance chemotheraphy for acute lympholastic leukemia (ALL), admitted with papulopustular lesions otherwise normal physical findings but later diagnosed pulmonary and cutaneous Nocardia farcinica infection. The initiation of empirical therapy before the appearance of clinical signs in these patients can potentially cure Nocardia infections, which are otherwise associated with a high rate of mortality.
