A 24-year-old man who was initially thought to have nocardiosis of his mediastinal lymph node which progressed to involve his right lung, had to undergo a right pneumonectomy when he failed to respond to treatment with sulphadiazine. Histology of the right lung specimen and a subsequent axillary lymph node biopsy revealed that he actually had lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin's disease.
