Primary Cutaneous Nocardia brasiliensis in a Spanish Child
Background:
We report a case of a primary cutaneous nocardiosis by autochthonous Nocardia brasiliensis in a Spanish immunocompetent 9-year-old boy.
Methods:
N. brasiliensis caused cellulitis showing the patient recovery after drainage and treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Nocardia grew in pure culture and its identification was confirmed by sequencing (16S rRNA) and by MALDI-TOF MS (Bruker, Daltonics, Germany).
Conclusions:
In Spain although N. brasiliensis cutaneous infections in children are very infrequent should not be ruled out when an insect bite, stuck with a pine needle or an animal scratch has existed and the wound evolution is torpid.
