Patients on high-dose oral glucocorticoid therapy for persistent asthma are susceptible to Nocardia infection, potentially Nocardia asteroides.
Nocardia-infektioille ovat alttiita potilaat, jotka käyttävät suuria annoksia oraalisia glukokortikosteroideja pitkittyneeseen astmaan, mikä voi viitata Nocardia asteroides -infektioon.
