title: [Isolation of Nocardia asteroides using hemoculture (clinical report)].
abstract: The authors describe the finding of Nocardia asteroides from a haemoculture in a patient with right-sided pneumonia and several predisposing factors (TB, chronic bronchitis, anamnestic hepatitis, chronic hepatopathy, anaemia, ethylism and a neoplasm revealed in the final stage). Early bacteriological diagnosis and aimed antimicrobial therapy led to radical improvement of the very dramatic clinical condition. The authors discuss the possible higher incidence of the infectious agent, which previously was detected only very rarely.
