​ID Corner: Antimicrobial Management of Nocardia farcinica Brain Abscess

by Lucas Grabowski, PharmD

"A patient, whom we'll call LP, is a 64-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with left-sided weakness; new neuropathic symptoms predominantly in his right leg; a history of recent falls; nausea; confusion; low-grade fever; and chills. He had a past medical history of cocaine and alcohol use, and of sarcoidosis, for which he was currently being treated with hydroxychloroquine, etanercept, and lowdose prednisone."
