| description | Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection caused by Nocardia species (spp). Nocardia species are ubiquitous environmental saprophytes occurring in the soil, organic matter, and water. A 36-year-old, female, renal transplant recipient presented with cutaneous and cerebral symptoms of disseminated Nocardiosis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the case resulted in a favourable outcome. Nocardiosis is an important infection in transplant recipients, which should be diagnosed early so that appropriate therapy can be instituted.
