Nocardia is a kind of aerobic Actinomycetes, gram positive organism that was acid-fast when stained with the modified Ziehl-Neelsen method. Nocardia is a soil saprophyte widely distributed throughout the world which usually introduced through the respiratory tract and may develop a disseminated infection, especially subcutaneous abscess and or central nervous system infection. Nocardiosis is an important opportunistic infection in immunosuppressed patients, lymphoma, sarcoidosis, and organ transplant patient. Sulfonamide therapy is known as a treatment of choice in nocardiosis. We report the two cases of nocardiosis in renal transplant recipient. Nocardia asteroides was isolated in our two cases. We treated sucessfully with Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole(Bactrim).
