RESUMEN
Nocardia species are ubiquitous soil-borne organisms that most commonly cause invasive disease in patients with defective cell-mediated immunity. We report a case of recurrent Nocardia sepsis in a patient with sickle cell disease and chronic iron overload, who was undergoing high-dose infusions of deferoxamine through a central venous catheter.
