“…18 In another study by Venugopal et al 350 sputum, BAL, pleural fluid, pus and biopsy specimens were examined and 15 isolates were recovered. 24 In this study paraffin baiting method was more suitable than other methods for Nocardia isolation. Eshraghi et al in 2001 evaluated the efficiency of Sabouraud dextrose agar and paraffin agar for nocardial isolation from 142 sputum specimens and just one specimen was positive but in our study, 4 specimens (of 291 sputum samples) were positive.…”

“…La diseminación hematógena es frecuente, con invasión de riñones, meninges, cerebro y otros órganos, siendo su evolución generalmente fatal (4) (5) (12) (13) (20) (21) (22). La incidencia de esta afección es limitada y se ha encontrado una frecuencia de 2 a 5% de pacientes con tuberculosis, afectados de Nocardiosis broncopulmonar (7) (10) (16) (18) (19) (20) (24).…”

Three hundred samples of sputum from patients suffering from various forms of pulmonary disorders were homogenized by pancreatic digestion, examined microscopically and cultured on brain heart infusion agar, trypticase soy agar, in brain heart infusion broth, trypticase soy broth and McClung's carbon-free broth. Several elements of varying morphological forms, believed to be from aerobic actinomycetes or nocardias, were observed in 16 cases. Six strains of Nocardia asteroides, one N. brasiliensis, eight of Rhodococcus species and one Micromonospora were isolated and studied at various stages of growth. Several nocardial and rhodococcal elements closely resembling those observed in the Gram-stained sputa were found. It is suggested that some of those in the sputum were from nocardias and that their appearance in sputum, as seen from the Gram-stained slide, when combined with clinical symptoms can serve for a presumptive diagnosis of pulmonary nocardiosis pending a more definitive identification by a specialized laboratory.
