Disseminated nocardiosis in an immunocompetent child.

We report a 2-month-old child with a disseminated Nocardia farcinica infection that presented with suppurative lymphatic abscess. The child did not have any predisposing factors and responded to treatment with co-trimoxazole and amikacin. This is first case report of disseminated nocardiosis caused by Nocardia farcinica in an immunocompetent child.
