ABSTRACT
Nocardia asteroide infections, an aerobic actinomycete, have several forms and lungs, skin and brain are the organs most frequently involved. When the infection suspected, special staining methods must be ordered to identify the agent. We report three immunocompetent patients with disseminated nocardiosis, 2 presenting with nodular lesions of skin and lungs and one presenting with pulmonary involvement and brain abscesses. The importance of clinical suspicion and early diagnosis of nocardiosis is emphasized
