- Abstract
- Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection caused by Nocardia species (spp.), which are Gram-positive branching filamentous bacteria. In a recent issue of Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, Molina et al. [1] studied the relationship between Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) prophylaxis and Nocardia infections in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Molina et al. [1] performed a retrospective study of nocardiosis among HSCT recipients at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Medical Center between 2000 and 2017 [...]
