Core Tip	Opportunistic infections in immunomodulated patients with inflammatory diseases has gained renewed interest because of the new biological therapies. Concerning inflammatory bowel disease, in particular anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs, turned granulomatous infection diseases a real risk. The awareness and knowledge about nocardiosis, a rare but severe granu?lomatous infection, is probably lacking for the majority of doctors treating these patients. Our aim is to increase the awareness about the infection and review the published cases in this particular group of patients. We would like that our reads increase knowledge about clinical manifestations and up-to-date treatment, be aware of the risk of the disease and when to suspect nocardiosis.
