Nocardia affects immunocompromised human host exhibiting an altered cell-mediated immunity. Infectious risk after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is significantly correlated to the recovery status of donor-derived immune system, especially CD4 T-cells reconstitution and thymopoiesis. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a lack of cell-mediated immunity recovery for patients presenting a nocardiosis compared to a control cohort.
