[Pseudotumor form of pulmonary nocardia infection (Nocardia nova) in a renal transplant patient].
The authors report a case of pulmonary nocardiosis due to Nocardia nova occurring in a smoker who had a renal transplant. A pseudo-tumour was found on a standard X-ray and computerised tomography did not suggest the diagnosis. Needle aspiration under computerised tomographic control enabled a diagnosis to be made.
