An 11-year-old boy with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the thigh experienced three instances of catheter-related bacteremia resulting from After two episodes of seizures, two low-density lesions in the right parietal lobe and the left corpus callosum with enhanced pericavitary opacity were detected. The catheter was removed. A brain biopsy sample grew and revealed dichotomously branched septate hyphae compatible with The patient was treated with ceftriaxone and liposomal amphotericin B for 12 and 52 weeks, respectively, until biopsy-confirmed resolution of the infections.

Nocardia infection occurs primarily among patients with deficient cell-mediated immunity. The portal of entry in the majority of patients with Nocardia infection is pulmonary origin. Central venous catheter-associated bacteremia caused by Nocardia species is very rare, and the optimal management for these situations was indeterminate. Most patients were cured after discontinuation of central venous catheter and prolonged antibiotics use. Thereafter, we reported an 18-year-old male who received chemotherapy for his nasal rhabdomyosarcoma had central venous catheter-associated N. asteroids bacteremia. The outcome was satisfying after discontinuation of central venous catheter followed by short-term antibiotics. Conclusively, prolonged antibiotics may not be necessary in catheter-associated Nocardia bacteremia without distant metastatic site after removal of catheter.
