Disseminated cutaneous nocardiosis with ocular involvement

Abstract

A 45-year-old Japanese woman presented with a five-day history of multiple papular eruptions and a fever >38°C. For the past 10 years, she had been treated with oral prednisolone (10 mg/day) and cyclosporine (100 mg/day) to treat mixed connective tissue disease and autoimmune hepatitis. On physical examination, multiple papules and pustules were observed on her face, trunk, and extremities. Some lesions had dermal or subcutaneous nodules.
