Epidemiology and Demographics

In the United States, it has been estimated that 500-1,000 new cases of Nocardia infection occur annually. Approximately 60% of nocardiosis cases are associated with pre-existing immune compromise. Although incidence data are extremely limited, the number of cases is likely rising as a result of the increase in the number of severely immunocompromised persons.
