TY - JOUR T1 - Endobronchial nocardiosis JF - European Respiratory Journal JO - Eur Respir J SP - 1903 LP - 1905 DO - 10.1183/09031936.94.07101903 VL - 7 IS - 10 AU - FE Casty AU - M Wencel Y1 - 1994/10/01 UR - http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/7/10/1903.abstract N2 - The presentation of a Nocardia infection is quite variable. We report a case of nocardiosis presenting as endobronchial obstruction with postobstructive pneumonia and atelectasis, in a patient with a low index of suspicion for bronchogenic carcinoma. Our report emphasizes the importance of considering the diagnosis of endobronchial nocardiosis in patients with endobronchial obstruction and a low index of suspicion for carcinoma, as well as those with a high index of suspicion, but with repeatedly negative biopsies.
