ABSTRACT

Paciente masculino de 52 años de edad con antecedentes de diabetes tipo I, tos productiva de tres meses de evolución, disnea de esfuerzo progresiva y aislados episodios de expectoración hemoptoica previos a la consulta. Al examen físico se evidenció matidez percutoria a nivel de campo pulmonar inferior derecho y disminución del murmullo vesicular en región infraaxilar derecha. Las radiografías de tórax de 2 meses previos y la tomografía axial computarizada de tórax revelaron una opacidad heterogénea en el lóbulo medio. Se procedió a realizar una fibrobroncoscopía con lavado broncoalveolar y biopsia transbronquial. El examen anatomopatológico mostró exudado purulento con colonias bacterianas con aspecto de actinomicosis. El paciente inició tratamiento endovenoso con penicilina G.


A 52-year-old male patient with history of type 1 diabetes presented productive cough for a period of three months, progressive exertional dyspnea and isolated episodes of hemoptoic expectoration. Physical examination evidenced percussion dullness in the right lower lung field and a decrease in breath sounds in the right infra-axillary region. Chest X-rays during the two previous months and a chest computerized axial tomography revealed a heterogeneous opacity in the middle lobe. A fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial biopsy was performed. The anatomopathological examination showed purulent exudates with microbial colonies consistent with actinomycosis. The patient was treated with intravenous penicillin G.
