ABSTRACT

La actinomicosis es una enfermedad infecciosa de origen bacteriano. Si bien su evolución es habitualmente favorable con tratamiento antibiótico adecuado, en ocasiones este puede no ser eficaz. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con antecedente de tuberculosis hace 25 años, que acude a consulta para seguimiento tras haber sido ingresado con el diagnóstico de neumonía. Ante la persistencia de alteraciones en la radiografía de tórax se completa el estudio con TC y PET-TC cuyos hallazgos fueron altamente sugerentes de neoplasia. Tras la realización de broncoscopia se confirmó el diagnóstico de actinomicosis


Actinomycosis is an infectious disease with a bacterial origin. Although evolution is usually favorable with adequate antibiotic treatment, sometimes it may not be effective. We present the case of a patient with antecedent of tuberculosis infection 25 years ago, who came to clinic for follow-up after being admitted with the diagnosis of pneumonia. Due to persistence of alterations in chest X-ray, the study was completed by CT and PET-CT, whose findings were highly suggestive of neoplasia. After bronchoscopy, the diagnosis of actinomycosis was confirmed
