Abstract
NOCARDIOSIS is an acute or chronic infection that may closely resemble other suppurative conditions due to such varied agents as klebsiella, pasteurella, salmonella, malleomyces and actinomyces. The cattle studied by Nocard1 were suffering from multiple abscesses, draining sinuses, emaciation and pulmonary involvement with fatal termination. The disease occurs in other animals2 3 4 and is frequently misdiagnosed as actinomycosis,5 although the condition reported by Nocard is quite different from actinomycosis, as described by Harz6 and Bollinger.7 The causative organism is also quite different from the actinomyces isolated by Wolff and Israel8 but it probably is closely related to, if not identical with, . . .Keywords
