  ABSTRACT: Nocardia infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. There are no recent studies evaluating the characteristics of nocardiosis using current immunosuppressants. To determine the incidence and risk factors for infection, we performed a 5-year retrospective review and case control study of renal transplant recipients with nocardiosis at 2 renal transplant centers.
