[Nocardiosis in a patient with AIDS].
A young drug addict with positive anti-HIV antibodies, OKT4/OKT8 ratio below 1, oropharingeal candidiasis and pulmonary Pneumocystis carinii infection, dies due to a cerebral abscess with a septic status. The postmortem microbiologic study shows pulmonary abscesses and Nocardia asteroides is isolated from lung tissue and spinal fluid. We note out the rareness of this pathology and its relation to AIDS.
