A Case of Cutaneous Nocardiosis with Involvement of the Trachea, Anterior Mediastinum and Sternum

Nocardiosis is a rare infectious disease due to Nocardia infections. In this report, we present a rare case of cutaneous nocardiosis with involvement of the trachea, anterior mediastinum and sternum. The strain of Nocardia has been isolated from bacterial culture of infected tissue. 16s rRNA sequenc...
