诺卡氏菌脑脓肿是罕见的，约占所有脑脓肿的1-2%。诺卡氏菌脑脓肿的死亡率是其他细菌性脑脓肿的3倍，因此早期诊断和治疗至关重要。诺卡氏菌脑脓肿多发生于免疫功能低下的病人，而免疫功能正常的病人发生严重感染则极为罕见。我们报告一例脑脓肿的诺卡氏菌farcinica在免疫功能正常的病人谁接受手术和抗生素治疗。这是第二例由N.在韩国的一名免疫正常的患者中发现了farcinica。
Nocardia cerebral abscess is rare, constituting approximately 1-2% of all cerebral abscesses. Mortality for a cerebral abscess of Nocardia is three times higher than that of other bacterial cerebral abscesses, therefore, early diagnosis and therapy is important. Nocardia cerebral abscess is generally occur among immunocompromised patients, and critical infection in immunocompetent patients is extremely rare. We report on a case of a brain abscess by Nocardia farcinica in an immunocompetent patient who received treatment with surgery and antibiotics. This is the second case of a brain abscess caused by N. farcinica in an immunocompetent patient in Korea.
