Sammanfattning

Skin and soft tissue infections are most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus or various species of streptococcus. This case report summarizes the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and clinical outcome of a facial infection presenting as multiple abscesses in a young and otherwise healthy girl. Nocardia brasiliensis was recovered from abscess aspiration, and treatment failure was eventually recognized for the recommended empirical antibiotic treatment, broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgery.
