Figure

Geographic distribution of patients for study of invasive Nocardia infections across 3 distinct geographic regions, United States. Color codes and list of Nocardia spp. represent the geographic location of diagnosis and treatment. Each circle represents a patient in the study cohort’s postal (ZIP) code of residence at the time of data extraction (2022); larger circles represent ZIP codes with more patients. Percentages for states are for the full study cohort; percentages for individual species are for that state.
