A Case of Yellow Nail Syndrome Complicated with Pulmonary Infection Due to Nocardia cyriacigeorgica.

Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by nail bed changes, pulmonary involvement, and lymphatic drainage disorders. Pulmonary involvement usually manifests as bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, and pleural effusion. There are few studies on yellow nail syndrome combined with opportunistic infection. Here, we report a case of clinically diagnosed YNS combined with Nocardia cyriacigeorgica infection and the course of treatment used, which can provide some useful information for clinicians to better understand this rare illness.
