Ulceration by Nocardia Otitidiscaviarum : A case study.

Nocardiosis is an acute, subacute or chronic infectious disease that occurs in cutaneous, pulmonary and disseminated forms. We present a case of Nocardiosis in a post-COVID-19 patient with cutaneous ulceration due to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum , managed with cotrimoxazole and linezolid. Early diagnosis and management proved crucial in preventing dissemination of the organism and improving the patient's outcome.
