[Disseminated nocardiosis caused by Nocardia nova with brain abscesses and osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient].

CONCLUSION: This observation is original because it involves a immunocompetent patient with an association of two exceptional locations for N. nova: brain abscesses and femoral osteomyelitis. Screening for cerebral involvement should be systematic, even in the lack of neurological signs. An adapted and prolonged antibiotherapy must be conducted.
