We report the first case of Nocardia altamirensis cutaneous infection in an immunocompetent host. A 53-year-old male, with no predisposing factors, presented with a suppurative papular nodule on the dorsum of his left foot. N. altamirensis was identified by sequencing the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and treatment with amikacin led to complete resolution of the clinical picture. We believe that cutaneous nocardiosis should be kept in mind as a possible cause of serious complications also in immunocompetent hosts considering a nonspecific clinical picture and misdiagnosis of the infection as well as the poor response to empirical antimicrobial therapy.
