1.   We have a most interesting patient who has Hodgkin's disease and has
     presented with a liver abscess due to Nocardia species!  Request 
     search for papers detailing infections, specifically liver abscesses,
     in patients with Hodgkin's disease; spectrum of clinical illness 
     infections due to Nocardia sp.; infections on patients with Chronic
     Granulomatous disease.

TI  - Recurrent Nocardia pneumonia in an adult with chronic
      granulomatous disease.
AB  - The diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease was made for the
      first time in a young adult when he presented with Nocardia
      asteroides pneumonia. Treatment with
      trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for 10 wk brought about an apparent
      cure of the infection. Two and one half years later N. asteroides
      pneumonia recurred and resulted in death from respiratory
      failure. Antibiotic susceptibility studies suggested that both
      episodes were caused by the same organism. This suggestion was
      supported by endonuclease restriction analysis, which showed that
      the plasmids from both Nocardia isolates were identical. Late
      recurrence of pneumonia caused by N. asteroides occurs only
      rarely. In this patient, recurrent infection appeared to be
      related to persistence of colonizing organisms in the host.

TI  - Successful management of hepatic abscesses by percutaneous
      catheter drainage in chronic granulomatous disease.
AB  - Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a disorder of
      polymorphonuclear leukocytes that can cause multiple recurrent
      hepatic abscesses in 40% of those patients with the disorder. The
      mortality rate from this complication of CGD is estimated at 27%.
      Treatment has consisted of extensive surgical debridement and
      drainage and prolonged antibiotic therapy; however, this approach
      is accompanied by high morbidity and the frequent need for
      reoperation. Successful percutaneous drainage of multiple hepatic
      abscesses in a patient who had previously undergone 10 operative
      procedures to manage hepatic abscesses is reported. With the
      development of imaging and percutaneous drainage techniques, as
      well as the recurrent nature of this problem, percutaneous
      management should be given consideration in appropriate patients
      with CGD with hepatic abscesses.
