Nocardiose pulmonaire sur un terrain immunocompétent: à propos de 2 cas

Abstract: La nocardiose est une infection rare, mais sévère, causée par des bactéries du genre nocardia, qui appartiennent à l'ordre des actinomycétales. Si elles peuvent toucher l'adulte immunocompétent, les nocardioses restent des pathologies de l'individu fragilisé sur le plan immunitaire. L'atteinte pulmonaire reste la plus fréquente, sa prise en charge correcte est liée au diagnostic qui est souvent retardé par des présentations non spécifiques et des prélèvements non concluants. Nous rapportons ici deux cas de noc… Show more

“…The histology remains a diagnostic means often solicited as is the case of our patient. Histopathological examination found abcessed pyogranulomatous lesions surrounded by PNN corona and a second crown of histiocytes in fibrous tissue, nocardia filaments are evidenced by Gram and Grocott staining [8]. The diagnosis of nocardiosis is a challenge for all healthcare providers for three reasons.…”

“…The trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination is the most prescribed treatment given the sensitivity of several species to this treatment. However, the classic combination amoxicillin-clavulanic acid plus amikacin, imipenem plus amikacin or cefotaxime plus amikacin have been shown to be effective on several strains, then an oral relay by trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole may be proposed [8].…”
