Thoracic Actinomycosis

<em>Actinomyces israelii</em> is a branching anaerobic bacilli microorganism that can be identified as normal flora throughout various portions of the human alimentary canal. It is crucial to establish a diagnosis as treatment will vary depending on the clinical form of the disease. We report a case of a 78-year-old man who initially presented with an acute onset of respiratory distress displayed contrast leakage on computed tomography from the site of a previously inserted esophageal stent for an unsuccessful surgical repair of an esophageal rupture. In addition to the contrast leakage, the presence of a bronchopulmonary fistula imaging prompted the need for further investigation. Our patient was empirically treated with antibiotics and obtained blood cultures, which returned positive <em>A. israelii.</em>

Sulfur Granules

Thoracic actinomycosis is an uncommon, chronic suppurative bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces species. Thoracic actinomycosis represents about one-fourth of all cases of actinomycosis. We report a case of left sided pleural effusion with hydropneumothorax with collapse and consolidation of left lung with discharging sinus in the left anterior chest wall. Actinomycosis was suspected and confirmed by microscopic identification of “sulfur granules” in the discharge of the sinus tract and also identification of gram-positive filamentous bacteria in the specimen of discharging sinus.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.14(4) 2015 p.417-41
