“…In our patient, a good response was observed with combination therapy. [6] Despite characteristic clinical feature, our patient remained undiagnosed for long, may be because it is difficult to diagnose clinically. Hence subcutaneous nocardiosis should be kept as one of the differential diagnosis.…”

Mycetoma is a chronic infection, frequently seen in tropical and sub-tropical countries and is considered as an occupational disease. Nocardia species though it can infect immunocompetent individuals, it most commonly affects immunocompromised patients. A 50-year-old male, farmer presented to our hospital with serosanguineous discharging swelling over the dorsum of right foot. We have isolated Nocardia asteroides from the tissue sample. Speciation of this isolate was carried out based on phenotypic methods. Hereby we report a case of Actinomycetes Mycetoma in an immunocompetent individual.

Nodular lymphangitis, also known as sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infections, is characterized by suppurative inflammatory nodules along the lymphatic vessels. This manifestation is classic of sporotrichosis, however, other infections such as nocardiosis, atypical mycobacteriosis, leishmaniasis, among others, can also express this clinical pattern. Sporotrichosis, which often occurs in gardeners, remains the most recognized cause of nodular lymphangitis. The histopathological studies, as well as the culture are diagnostic standards of lesions that do not respond to empirical treatment. In this article, we will review the main causes of nodular lymphangitis or lymphocutaneous sporotrichoid infections.

“…2,3 Between 60% and 75% of reported cases of nocardiosis are associated with immunosuppression 4,5 ; however, nontraumatic cutaneous infection with Nocardia asteroides has been reported in an immunocompetent patient. 6 N elegans has been identified only rarely. 2,4,7 There are single case reports of N elegans causing purulent arthritis, pneumonia, sputum colonization, and one case of infection of a cat's footpad.…”
