Nocardia Sepsis

Loading

Hi Chris! Actually it's plain old leprosy... I've seen a few of these over the years.

Before emrupdate.com I had to publish my fascinomas in the literature- imagine that! I published a case in Postgraduate Medicine (1988) of a gram positive rod that caused pus collections in my patient's eye, brain, and abdomen.

Answer: Nocardia sepsis.  The guy died a miserable death... Sad [:(]
