dc.description.abstractNocardia is a gram-positive, aerobic, acid-fast bacteria presenting a range of clinical symptoms. They arise as a result of local trauma and contamination of the site, although invasive disseminated infections are more common in immunocompromised or less robust hosts.[1] Examples of clinical manifestations include abscesses, cellulitis, and mycetoma infections. The presence of the causal organism in tissue samples, cultures, or exudates is required to support the diagnosis, which is made mostly by clinical presentation (as granules). A diagnosis may take longer than expected due to the wide range of clinical symptoms, but it is crucial for effective chemotherapy and surgery, which can help the majority of patients. The five case reports presented in this research illustrate the need for a high index of clinical suspicion, particularly in costalbelt.en_US
