Pulmonary nocardiosis manifested as miliary nodules in a neonate--a case report.
A case of pulmonary nocardiosis in a 18-day-old neonate is presented. The chest roentgenograms demonstrated the widespread nodularities, mimicking miliary tuberculosis. Nocardiosis is rare in childhood but should be included in the differential diagnosis of the disseminated nodularities seen in the chest roentgenogram.
