摘要：
We report the case of a primary lymphocutaneous nocardiosis occurring on the right calf of a healthy 56-year-old man after an insect bite. Analysis of the purulent exudate obtained from the nodule revealed Nocardia brasiliensis. The initial therapy with trimethoprim-sulfamethox-azole had to be stopped due to a drug eruption. However, with minocycline treatment the patient recovered within 5 weeks. Superficial (sporotrichoid) infections and a history of outdoor injury should be considered suspicious for cutaneous nocardiosis.
