ABSTRACT

La actinomicosis es una enfermedad causada por un microorganismo gram positivo anaerobio, Actinomyces israelií, habitualmente con ausencia de actividad patogénica. Su expresión infecciosa más común se localiza en piel de cara y cuello, dado que éste es residente frecuente de nariz y garganta. Su comportamiento infeccioso es raro en otros órganos. Se presenta un paciente adulto con cuadro clínico respiratorio de tres meses de evolución, en quien se diagnostica actinomicosis pulmonar posterior a lobectomía por sospecha clínica inicial de malignidad (Acta Med Colomb 2010; 35: 132-134).


Actinomycosis is a disease caused by Actinomyces israelii, a gram-positive, anaerobic microorganism which usually lacks pathogenic activity. Its most common clinical expression is infection of the skin of the face and neck, since the microorganism is a frequent resident of the nose and throat. Infectious behavior is extremely rare in other organs. We present the case of an adult patient with respiratory manifestations which evolved over a period of three months, who was diagnosed with Pulmonary Actinomycosis after lobectomy performed due to an initial clinical suspicion of malignancy (Acta Med Colomb 2010; 35: 132-134).
