Nocardiosis

Nocardia is an opportunistic parasite primarily responsible for pulmonary infections in immunocompromized patients. The CNS is occasionally involved usually from a primary pulmonary lesion and may result in either meningitis, abscess or choroid plexitis. The spinal cord has been occasionally involved. Spontaneous isolated CNS nocardiosis in nonimmunocomproimzed patients has rarely been reported.
