Nocardia cyriacigeorgica: A Case of Disseminated Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient

[Introduction]Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is a common environmental organism isolated from different clinical samples in Europe, Asia, and North America, predominantly from respiratory samples, but also from samples from several other sites.[Case Presentation]In the current paper a disseminated Nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection in an immunocompromised patient was reported. The patient was admitted to the under study hospital with multiple cutaneous abscess such as lesion and paraspinal abscess developed to brain abscess.[Conclusions]Nocardia cyriacigeorgica was isolated from a sample of skin lesion based on phenotypic properties and sequencing method. Limited cases of Nocardia cyriacigeorgica in Iran are reported.
