Abstract EN
Cutaneous nocardiosis is an infrequent infection which has been increasingly reported in immunocompromised patients.
Although trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is considered to be the agent of choice for treatment of nocardiosis, newer antimicrobials such as tigecycline have been proven to be effective in vitro, as well.
We report the first case of primary cutaneous nocardiosis in a renal transplant recipient having corresponded well to treatment with tigecycline
