“…It is a ubiquitous, saprophytic, aerobic, Gram‐positive bacteria able to infect animals or humans after inoculation. Nocardiosis is a very rare disease, with about 0.31 cases for 100,000 1 in humans and only 23 cases described in domestic animals worldwide. To our knowledge, this is the first report of N. abscessus infection in a cat (one case has been described in a dog in the United States in 2010 2 ).…”

A 10‐year‐old, spayed, domestic, shorthaired cat was referred for cellulitis of the abdominal wall. Histopathological examination of cutaneous biopsies revealed nodular to diffuse pyogranulomatous dermatitis and panniculitis with tissue grains. Nocardia abscessus was identified via 16s rRNA PCR. Susceptibility testing showed that the isolated bacteria was susceptible to amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which was prescribed for 11 months. Successive controls showed a progressive resolution of cutaneous signs, and no relapse was seen 5 months after treatment termination. This case report describes the first case of N. abscessus infection in a cat.

“…In the past, diagnosis of Nocardia infections were challenging due to several factors – the time between symptom onset and microbiologic diagnosis, the time required for growth in cultures and the occasional co-isolation with other pathogens in the same specimen [5, 10]. However, the increasing reporting of Nocardia infections over the years can be attributed to increased organ transplantation (with concurrent use of immunosuppressive therapies), as well as better diagnostic modalities [5].…”

“…Nocardia infections are common in those with underlying conditions (cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and congenital/acquired immune-deficiency (corticosteroid therapy, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection, autoimmune disease, IgG deficiency) [2][3][4][5][6]. They can have diverse clinical presentations -pulmonary, cutaneous, neurologic, cardiac, ophthalmologic and disseminated manifestations [1,2].…”

Introduction. Nocardia infections are being increasingly reported in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. We describe a case of Nocardia abscessus infection with an atypical presentation in an immunocompetent patient. Case Presentation. A previously healthy 47-year-old gentleman presented with hiccups and paroxysmal spasms. Imaging revealed a pulmonary nodule, for which he underwent surgical resection. Pathologic evaluation demonstrated evidence of local inflammation, with growth of Nocardia abscessus on tissue cultures. Conclusion. Nocardia abscessus may have atypical presentations in immunocompetent patients. Further research is needed to understand the factors leading to Nocardia infections in immunocompetent patients.
