Hi, folks. My cousin has been diagnosed with nocardiosis. As far as I know, it can be provoked by weakened immune system. However, I have also heard that months are needed for treating this disease. Is this true? I will really appreciate if you can tell me this. Thank you for replying. Bye!
Hello, there. I am afraid you are right. Approximately six months are needed for this kind of treatment. The most common antibiotics that are used here are sulfonamides. However, if a patient has not a good response to them, he can get other ones. I recommend your cousin to be patient. That is only he can do. Please, let me know how he progresses. Good luck!
Hi. I had a friend who was diagnosed with nocardiosis. I think that his treatment lasted even more than 6 months. His condition even got complicated with brain abscess. In that case, antibiotics are not enough. Then, a patient must undergo the surgical procedure. It consists of surgical drainage. Your cousin must be patient and regular with the treatment. I hope we’ve helped. Bye!
