Brain MRI/CT changes during nocardiosis treatment
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks back at medical records of people with a rare brain infection (nocardiosis) to see how MRI or CT scans change during treatment. It aims to help doctors understand the best way to monitor this infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed brain infection called cerebral nocardiosis (diagnosed with a lab test).
- You have at least one set of specific brain scans: either 3 scans at key treatment times, or a CT and MRI within 72 hours of diagnosis, or a special MRI scan within the first month.
Quick eligibility check

This study follows patients who have been treated for neurocysticercosis—a brain infection caused by a parasite—to learn how they recover over time and what long-term effects they experience. By joining, you'll help doctors better understand this condition and improve care for future patients.
This study uses a heart MRI to look for leftover (healing) changes in heart tissue after COVID-19. It may help researchers better understand what ongoing heart effects can happen after infection.
This study looks at how infections or inflammation involving the brain and spinal cord work, using patient data and samples. It may help researchers better understand these illnesses and improve future care.
This trial tests whether two special MRI contrast medicines—gadolinium and ferumoxytol—can better diagnose problems in the brain or central nervous system. It may help doctors identify what’s causing symptoms or abnormal brain findings.
This study adds special brain “biomarker” tests into routine visits for adults with brain tumors. It may help the clinic better track these cancers over time and tailor care.
This study is testing a new, portable MRI machine that can be used right at your bedside. It aims to see if it can take clear pictures of the brain for people with strokes, brain conditions, or symptoms of a brain problem.
