Abstract
|
|
|
Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative granulomatous disease due to Actinomyces israelii characterized by multiple abscess and sinus tract formation with dense fibrous scarring.
This disease, especially thoracic infection, is very rare in Korea so we are not familliar with to make diagnosis and treatment.
Otherwise the unspecificity of the clinical symptoms and the lack of adequate examination procedure (as anaerobic fungus culture) are the causes of misdiagnosis.
Thoracic actinomycosis is very similar to chronic infectious disease of the lung and chest or thoracic neoplasm.
Recently we experienced a case of thoracic actinomycosis (bronchopulmonary) which had been confused with chronic lung abscess and pathologically confirmed as broncho-pulmonary actinomycosis.
The purpose of this report is to review our experience more thorouly to enhance consideration of Artinomycosis.
