Massive hemoptysis as a complication of pulmonary actinomycosis: a case report
We present the case of a 57-year-old female who was presented to our center with massive hemoptysis. Thoracic computed tomography scan revealed a cavitated lesion with perilesional ground-glass opacity. Right lower lobectomy was then performed using uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery, excising a 13 × 12 × 8 cm cavitated lung fragment. The pathology service reported the presence of microscopical evidence of filamentous gram positive bacterial colonies, showing compatible features of pulmonary actinomycosis. The patient was discharged with oral penicillin with an uneventful post-operative course.PMID:36327475 | DOI:...

Endobronchial Actinomycosis: A Case Report
Niger J Clin Pract. 2022 Oct;25(10):1758-1761. doi: 10.4103/njcp.njcp_1357_21.ABSTRACTAn extremely rare disease with a slow course, actinomycosis has a high mortality risk when not properly treated. Pulmonary actinomycosis is clinically and radiologically analogous with tuberculosis, foreign body aspiration, lung abscess, or lung cancer. Therefore, it often causes misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis. A 65-year-old male patient, being followed up with the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung adenocarcinoma, was admitted to our outpatient clinic with complaints of chronic cough. On chest CT, a ca...

Actinomycosis of the Middle Ear in Children: Case Report and Literature Review
We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with recurrent otitis media, who presented with clinical signs of a cholesteatoma. She underwent tympanoplasty and ossiculoplasty. After surgery, actinomycosis was diagnosed histologically. We also provide a review of 16 published pediatric cases. (Source: The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal)
