A 61-year-old woman was transferred with a complaint of a fever and productive cough. She had tested positive for Mycobacterium avium and Nocardia cyriacigeorgica at least twice, and Streptococcus pneumonia (PISP) was isolated (3+) from her purulent sputum. As radiological findings, a lower lung field-dominant infiltration shadow and nodular shadow with cavity were recognized in the bilateral lung fields. We diagnosed her with pneumococcal pneumonia co-infection with M. avium and N. cyriacigeorgica. She was treated with MEPM for pneumococcal pneumonia, a standard regimen containing clarithromycin for pulmonary M. avium complex (MAC) disease, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim for pulmonary nocardiosis. She improved with appropriate treatment.
