ABSTRACT
Nocardia is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause disseminated disease in serious immunosuppressive patients with organ transplantation, advanced HIV infection, malignancy or long-term corticosteroid use. Cerebral nocardiosis constitutes the most severe form of Nocardial infection. Early detection and treatment of cerebral abscess of Nocardia is important because the mortality is three times higher than that of other bacterial cerebral abscesses. We report a case of N. farcinica brain abscess in a focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patient after steroid treatment.
