AbstractNocardia species are an uncommon but important cause of keratitis. The purpose of this review is to discus previous published papers relation to the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and management of Nocardia keratitis. Nocardia asteroides is the most frequently reported from Nocardia keratitis. Pain, photophobia, blepharospasm and lid swelling are mainly clinical manifestations. Usual risk factors for Nocardia keratitis are trauma, surgery, corticosteroids, and contact lens wear. Several antibiotics were used for treatment of Nocardia infection but according to studies, topical amikacin is the drug of choice for Nocardia keratitis. Topical steroid should not prescribe in these patients. In conclusion, although Nocardia keratitis is rare, early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent any scar formation and preserve a good visual acuity.

An unusual patient, characterized by recurrent infections, hepatosplenomegaly, low levels of gamma-globulin in the serum (400 mg/100 ml) and lymphocytosis, is described. The patient had pneumonia due to Nocardia asteroides followed by chronic Salmonella newport infection of 16 months' duration, kept in check by continuous antibiotic therapy. No antibodies were produced against specific antigenic challenges. The relationship of this case to those of congenital and acquired agammaglobulinemia is discussed.
