Two diagnosed clinical cases of nocardiosis in immunocompetent patients are presented, different in their clinical aspects, evolution and treatment. We report a 55 years-old man with disseminated nocardiosis and a 32 years-old man with splenectomy diagnosed of pulmonary nocardiosis. The medical literature is reviewed and emphasis is placed on the different illness and treatment of the nocardiosis.
