Infection opportuniste des immunodéprimés (greffés, VIH, lymphome, corticoïdes au long cours). Morphologie : filaments ramifiés gram+ partiellement acido-alcoolo-résistants. ATB : triméthoprime-sulfaméthoxazole (TMP-SMX) ± imipénem ± amikacine selon sévérité. Durée : duration not verified chez l'immunocompétent, duration not verified si immunodépression ou atteinte SNC — see cited source. Imagerie cérébrale à envisager devant tout signe neurologique, une forme pulmonaire sévère ou une immunodépression significative (Wilson 2012).
Scope: dosing as described in the cited guidelines (French or international context, stated by the source), for adults with normal renal function unless stated on the line. No renal or hepatic, paediatric or pregnancy adjustment is provided systematically. These regimens have not been reviewed by any infectious-disease specialist to date.
| Organ | Tropism | Level of evidence | Sources | Spread route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lung | High tropism | Evidence C | 1 | direct |
| Central nervous system | High tropism | Evidence C | 1 | hematogenous |
| Skin | Moderate tropism | Evidence C | 1 | not recorded |
Spread routes recorded: 2 of 3 documented foci A focus without a route is not a focus without spread: the route is simply not recorded.
