title: [Deficit of cell-mediated immunity and Nocardia's infection. A case report].
abstract: We described the case of a patient, recently studied, that underwent immunosuppressive therapy for pemphigus vulgaris and then developed a Nocardia's infection. The case was severe and multiple localization in lungs and other organs was observed. The pathology was treated by using antibiotics, without autoimmunity secondary pathology.
