Although  Nocardiosis  has considerable recurrence and mortality rates, characteristics and risk factors of  Nocardia  infection have not been assessed in patients with rheumatic diseases. Here, we examined the characteristics and risk factors of  Nocardia  infection in rheumatic disease patients in our hospital. Ten rheumatic disease patients who developed  Nocardia  infection were identified by retrospectively reviewing the medical records. Possible predisposing factors for  Nocardia  infection were high-dose glucocorticoid treatment, concomitant use of immunosuppressants, preexisting pulmonary diseases, and diabetes mellitus. All patients had pulmonary  Nocardiosis , and six of them had disseminated  Nocardiosis  when their pulmonary lesions were identified.
