Abstract :
Pulmonary nocardiosis, though a well recognized entity, is often missed due to its clinicoradiological similarities with tuberculosis. We present the case of an immunocompetent young girl of eighteen years with fever cough and weight loss, who was later diagnosed to be suffering from Pulmonary nocardiosis.
Key words: Nocardiosis, Lung, Immunity, Fever, Hemoptysis
