摘要
Disseminated infection caused by Nocardiosis is rare.Atypical imaging manifestations,special growth characteristic of Nocardia spp.and lack of specific biomarkers make the diagnosis of Nocardisis difficult and lead to misdiagnose easily.The in-vitro susceptibility results against different species of Nocardia spp.will guide rational anti-nocardia therapy.It's worth to summarize diagnosis procedures and the effectiveness of recommended empirical treatment from various cases.Here reported two complicated cases of disseminated nocardiosis containing a successful and a failure case,caused by Nocardia transvalensis and Nocardia farcinica,respectively,and the advances of diagnosis and treatment of disseminated nocardiosis.
