ABSTRACT
Nocardia infections are rare among normal individuals. Mostly they occur in immuno-compromised individuals. Here, we report a case of pulmonary nocardiosis in a person who was diagnosed as having pulmonary tuberculosis and was treated with anti-tuberculous treatment for 6 months. But the sputum smear was positive even after a complete course of treatment. The patient was seropositive to HIV-1 antibodies.
