Se presenta un caso de nocardiosis pulmonar en una paciente inmunocompetente con bronquiectasias en lóbulo medio y língula. Los hallazgos radiológicos consistieron en nódulos pulmonares, áreas de consolidación e impactaciones bronquiolares múltiples. La evolución clínica fue fatal y el diagnóstico definitivo se confirmó en la autopsia. La nocardiosis es un diagnóstico a tener en cuenta en un paciente con exacerbación de bronquiectasias
We present a case of pulmonary nocardiosis in an immunocompetent patient with bronchiectasis in the middle lobe and lingula. The radiologic findings were pulmonary nodules, areas of consolidation, and multiple bronchiolar impactions. The patient died and the definitive diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy. Nocardiosis should be taken into account in patients with exacerbation of bronchiectasis
