title: [Systemic Nocardia infection in an AIDS patient].
abstract: We report the case of a patient with Aids, Kaposi's sarcoma and a systemic nocardial infection. After surgical drainage and adequate antibiotic treatment the infection was cured. Under secondary antimicrobial prophylaxis no relapse has occurred to date. Generalized N. asteroides infections have been rarely described in patients with Aids and the possible reasons for this are discussed.
