Abstract
The literature on Nocardiosis is reviewed and 3 new cases are added to the 43 previously reported. Clinical course, bacteriologic and pathologic findings are reported in detail. Sulfadiazine should be included in combined therapy and other drugs evaluated by sensitivity tests. Surgical drainage should be employed when indicated. In the authors'' cases there were 2 fatalities; one patient remains asymptomatic after a 4-yr. follow-up. One of the fatal cases was associated with preexisting anthracosilicosis.Keywords
