{Abstract}: Nocardia exalbida, an uncommon Nocardia, was first identified in 2006. We herein report a 70-year-old man with pulmonary nocardiosis caused by N. exalbida after living-donor liver transplantation. We also review 11 previously reported cases of N. exalbida infections. To our knowledge, there are no case reports available on nocardiosis consequent to N. exalbida infection following transplantation, thus highlighting the importance of identifying bacterial species for the successful management of infection.
