ABSTRACT
Infections due to Nocardia transvalensis are rare; only five cases of isolated primary pulmonary disease due to this species have been previously reported. Our patient is a 53-year-old diabetic who developed primary pulmonary N. transvalensis pneumonia and who was successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and amikacin. A summary of the published cases with N. transvalensis infection is included. The report emphasizes the increasing importance of N. transvalensis as an etiologic agent of pulmonary disease in immunosuppressed patients
