Nocardiosis treatment in Benito Juárez

Nocardiosis is an uncommon infection caused by bacteria of the Nocardia genus, found in soil, which can mainly affect the lungs and, at times, spread to the skin or other organs.

Who it affects most: it usually occurs in people with weakened defenses, though it can also happen in other circumstances.

Common symptoms: cough, fever, trouble breathing, and, when it involves the skin, lesions or abscesses in the affected area.

Which specialist evaluates it? Because it is an infection that often affects the lung, its evaluation falls to medical professionals such as the infectious disease specialist or the internist. If you have persistent respiratory symptoms, especially with weakened defenses, the sensible thing is to seek a medical evaluation without letting time pass.
