Palatal Actinomycosis and Kaposi Sarcoma in an HIV-Infected Subject with Disseminated Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Infection
Actinomyces and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare are facultative intracellular organisms, members of the bacterial order actinomycetales. Although Actinomyces can behave as copathogen when anatomic barriers are compromised, its coinfection with Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare has not previously been reported. We present the first reported case of palatal actinomycosis co-infection with dis...
متن کاملActinomycosis.
Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, and slowly progressive granulomatous disease caused by filamentous Gram posi tive anaerobic bacteria from the Actinomycetaceae family (genus Actinomyces). It is often misdiagnosed because it can mimic other conditions such as malignancy and tuber culosis, and a high level of clinical suspicion is needed for an early diagnosis. However, it is readily treatable...
متن کاملPelvic Actinomycosis
INTRODUCTION Actinomycosis is a chronic bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces, Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria. Its symptomatology imitates some malignant pelvic tumours, tuberculosis, or nocardiosis, causing abscesses and fistulas. Actinomycoses are opportunistic infections and require normal mucous barriers to be altered. No epidemiological studies have been conducted to determine preval...
متن کامل[Thoracic actinomycosis].
Thoracic actinomycosis was identified in a 14 year old girl. The disease is infrequent in children and diagnosis is difficult. The occurrence of a protracted pulmonary lesion, together with osteomyelitis of several ribs and by fistulae formation in the chest wall, with production of characteristic "sulfur granules", were the key elements to suspect the right diagnosis, which was confirmed by a ...
متن کامل[Pulmonary actinomycosis].
Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare but important and challenging diagnosis to make. Even when the clinical suspicion is high, the disease is commonly confused with other chronic suppurative lung diseases and with malignancy. An early, accurate diagnosis will prevent the considerable psychological and physical morbidity, including unwarranted surgery, associated with delayed diagnosis. The clinic...
