Pulmonary nocardiosis is a rare bacterial infection that may lead to severe disease in immunodeficient patients and usually not so common in immunocompetent patients. The report is about a 57-year-old male with Norcardiosis. His sputum and Bronchial Alveolar Lavage (BAL) were negative for acid-fast bacilli. Nocardia species was isolated in BAL culture. He was started on Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole and Clarithromycin, which was later continued for six months.

<p class="abstract">This is a case report of isolated cryptococcosis in the operated mastoid cavity of an immunocompetent individual. A 24 year old immunocompetent male who underwent modified radical mastoidectomy presented to the OPD with complaints of otalgia and recurrent otorrhoea, not responding to regular medical line of treatment and aural toileting. Microscopy and culture of the ear dischrage revealed <em>Cryptococcus</em> <em>neoformans</em>. The patient was treated with oral and topical fluconazole and recovered completely. Although rare, cryptococcal mastoiditis should be considered even in an immunocompetent patient, as any delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to fatal complications.</p>
