About this document

Nocardiosis in Primary Immunodeficiencies by amendoim7y is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study investigates nocardiosis in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID), revealing that 49 cases were identified, predominantly in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). The median age at diagnosis was 19 years, with pneumonia being the most common presentation, and a low 12-month mortality rate of 4.2%. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing nocardiosis as a potential indicator of PID, particularly in non-CGD patients who may experience more severe infections.
