ABSTRACT
@#Nocardia species are gram-positive, aerobic, acid-fast bacteria which exist as saprophytes in nature. Invasive disseminated infections are particularly common in immunocompromised or debilitated hosts. Superficial infections with Nocardia species occur as a result of local trauma and contamination of the wound. Clinically, it may manifest as an acute infection (abscesses or cellulitis), mycetoma, or sporotrichoid infection. Herein we report a rare case of cutaneous nocardiosis following surgery mimicking a hypertrophic scar.
