Cutaneous abscess: Unveiling the mystery

Abstract

Disseminated Nocardia infection is uncommon in clinical practice, with most cases occurring as opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Cutaneous nocardiosis is often misdiagnosed because of its rarity and nonspecific clinical picture. Here, we report a case of disseminated nocardiosis in an immunocompetent patient presenting with multiple cutaneous abscesses.
