Abstract
Nocardiosis is a worldwide disease documented as an infection that predominantly affects patients with immunosuppressive conditions. Though localized lesions are well known, systemic nocardiosis is a an extremely rare condition which needs to be recognized and managed early. We describe a case of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, who developed pneumonia, multiple suppurative skin lesions and eventually brain abscess, to which the patient ultimately succumbed.
