Nocardia infections among immunomodulated inflammatory bowel disease patients: A review

Figure 1 Torax computed tomography scan 73-year-old man with disseminated nocardiosis (cutaneous, pulmonary and cerebral involvements). A: Consolidations in upper right pulmonary lobe; B: Cavitation with heterogenous filling in right upper pulmonary lobe; C: Coronal image showing a cavitation in right lower pulmonary lobe.

Figure 2 Cerebral magnetic resonance of 73-year-old man with disseminated nocardiosis (cutaneous, pulmonary and cerebral involvements). A: Axial T2 FLAIR (Fluid attenuated inversion recovery). Multiple focal lesions in bilateral fronto-parietal subcortical white matter, with proeminent edema and mass effect resulting in sulcal effacement; B: Post-gadolinium T1 3D-MPRAGE, axial reformat. Ring enhancing lesions were depicted in post-contrast images; C: Post gadolinium T1 3D-MPRAGE, sagittal reformat. Ring enhancing lesions were depicted in post-contrast images, forming clusters in right occipital lobe.
