چکیده
|
A few case reports of coinfections with nocardia and mycobacterium tuberculosis (tb)have previously been published in the literature. we report on a case of concomitantpulmonary nocardiosis and tuberculosis, in a recently diagnosed 55-year-old woman,with rheumatoid arthritis, who had been taking a short course of a low dose corticosteroid.the patient was treated with a combination of amikacin and imipenem, as well as astandard anti-tb regimen. physiologic doses of corticosteroids might be a predisposingfactor for opportunistic infections, such as nocardiosis or tuberculosis.
