Nocardiosis has been recognized in recent times as an unusual opportunistic infection associated with
HIV. Bacteraemia due to this pathogen is even rarer and only few cases have been reported in the literature.

pulmonary tuberculosis. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose this infection as the clinical
presentation and radiographic features mimic pulmonary tuberculosis
