Anyone experience with (or know of someone with) Pulmonary Nocardia (Nocardiosis) — early stage (not advanced)?

If so, would you mind sharing any information you're comfortable sharing about the experience?

For example, do you know/ recall:

• the specific STRAIN of nocardia bacteria?

• the specific (antibiotic) MEDICATION(s) prescribed?

• the length of TIME of treatment?

• any PROS or CONS (along the way) to be aware of?

• any TIPS, INSIGHTS, or 'HEADS UP'?

Thank you kindly for any information you're comfortable sharing. 🙏 😌

Much, much appreciated. 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Kind regards, ☺️

Kai

[Yes, working with pulmonologist 👨‍⚕️ & infectious disease specialist 👨‍⚕️. 👍 Additional sputum samples & upcoming bronchoscopy for additional identification of particular strain of nocardia bacteria in order to best target precise antibiotic treatment 💊 💉 , etc. 👍 ]

Merely seeking additional perspectives 🤔 🤔 🤔 for a well-rounded understanding & appropriate preparedness. 👍

Thank you kindly for taking time to read. 🙏 😌
