Abstract: A 47‐year‐old Japanese man suffering from T‐cell leukemia was examined for multiple subcutaneous abscesses followed to abrasion wound on his right knee. The causative organism was clustered, fine‐branched filaments in pus aspirated from the lesions, identified as Nocardia brasiliensis. Most of the lesions regressed from the combined therapy of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, leaving an ulcer on the patient's left leg. The nocardiosis cases in Japan until 1984, including this one, were briefly surveyed.
