摘要：
Nocardia infections are rare and usually occurred in immunocompromised patients with systemic dissemination front a lung infection. We report it case of an immunocompetent patient in whom Nocardia asteroides had cause psoas and cerebral abcess without pulmonary inflection, a short period after a hip prosthesis insertion. The clinical history is highly suggestive of a hospital-acquired. (c) 2008 Publie par Elsevier Masson SAS.
