摘要：

Pneumonia remains a concern for persons with long-standing HIV infection. We present a case of a 43-year-old HIV-infected woman with bilateral pneumonia whose presentation suggested the cause was a bacterial pathogen. A chest of radiograph and CT scan of the chest revealed infiltrates and adenopathies, but this did not help in the differential diagnosis. A Gram stain of a sputum specimen revealed gram-positive filamentous rods, and infection with Nocardia asteroides was diagnosed. The patient was started on a regimen of ceftriaxone and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and experienced significant improvement within a few days. [AIDS Reader. 2008;18:566-568]
