We report the observation of a cutaneous, pulmonary and osseous nocardiosis in a 45-year-old man. He was iatrogenously immunocompromised because of a "self-medication" with 32 mg per day of methylprednisolone during 30 months for gouty arthropathies. Under treatment with several antibiotics, a favourable evolution was obtained.
