Nocardia brasiliensis Details: NCBI 37326, gram-negative or unknown [species]

1. Pulmonary Nocardiosis: Pulmonary nocardiosis is the most common form of nocardiosis and typically occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients, or individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Symptoms of pulmonary nocardiosis may include cough, fever, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and pneumonia-like symptoms.

2. Cutaneous Nocardiosis: Cutaneous nocardiosis occurs when Nocardia brasiliensis infects the skin through breaks in the skin barrier, such as cuts, wounds, or puncture injuries. This can lead to localized skin infections, abscesses, or cellulitis. The skin lesions may appear as nodules, ulcers, or pustules and can be painful or tender.

3. Disseminated Nocardiosis: In severe cases, nocardiosis can spread beyond the lungs or skin to other organs and tissues, causing disseminated disease. Disseminated nocardiosis is more common in immunocompromised individuals and can affect multiple organ systems, including the brain, kidneys, liver, and bones. Symptoms vary depending on the organs involved but may include fever, weight loss, neurological symptoms, and organ dysfunction.

4. Central Nervous System Nocardiosis: Nocardia brasiliensis can cause infections of the central nervous system (CNS), leading to conditions such as brain abscesses, meningitis, or spinal cord infections. Central nervous system nocardiosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics.

5. Treatment Challenges: Nocardia brasiliensis infections can be challenging to treat due to the bacterium's resistance to many commonly used antibiotics. Treatment typically involves prolonged courses of antibiotics, often in combination therapy, tailored to the specific strain and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Early detection and treatment are essential for improving outcomes and preventing complications.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Nocardia brasiliensis

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
