ics nocardiosis found bronchiolitisResumen
Nocardiosis is a disease that mainly affects immunocompromised patients.
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are standard of care for asthma.
This treatment can induce respiratory infections but no case of bronchiolitis nocardiosis have been described so far.
A 58-year-old man, with history of controlled moderate allergic asthma, develop an increased cought in the last two years associated with dyspnea on exertion.
Within two months, although ICS were increased to high doses, symptoms worsened due to a severe obstructive ventilatory disorder as revealed by pulmonary function tests (PFT).
Small-scale lesions (< 10%) were found on chest computed tomography (CT).
A bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) found Nocardia abcessus.
After six months of Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim, PFT results improved and chest CT became completely normal.
We therefore present the case of a bronchiolitis nocardiosis with several bronchial syndrome and the only immunosuppressive factor found were ICS.
