Disseminated infection due to Actinomyces meyeri: case report and review.
Actinomyces meyeri is rarely isolated in cases of actinomycosis. We present a case of disseminated actinomycosis due to A. meyeri; the patient had an abscess of the lung, osteomyelitis of the tibia, and multiple skin abscesses. Cure was achieved with surgical debridement and administration of intravenous penicillin, followed by oral penicillin, for 1 year. A concomitant gram-negative bacillus, ...
متن کاملCervical spondylitis and spinal abscess due to Actinomyces meyeri.
Human actinomycosis with involvement of the spine is a rare condition although it has been first described a long time ago. It is probably underrecognized since its clinical presentation is often misleading and accurate bacteriological diagnosis is challenging. We herein report a rare case of cervical actinomycosis with paravertebral abscess and spondylitis imputed to an infection by Actinomyce...
متن کاملA Case of Disseminated Infection due to Actinomyces meyeri Involving Lung and Brain
Actinomyces meyeri is rarely isolated in cases of actinomycosis. The identification of A. meyeri had historically been difficult and unreliable. With the recent development of 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) sequencing, Actinomyces species such as A. meyeri can be isolated much more reliably. A. meyeri often causes disseminated disease, which can be secondary to frequent pulmonary infections. A pe...
متن کاملChronic Postoperative Endophthalmitis Caused by Actinomyces meyeri
We report a female patient who developed chronic endophthalmitis after an uneventful cataract surgery. Cultures of aqueous humor and a vitreous sample showed positivity for Actinomyces meyeri. Intense anterior segment inflammation and a less evident impairment of the patient's posterior segment led us to treat her vigorously with pars plana vitrectomy combined with intraocular and topical antib...
متن کاملOlecranon Osteomyelitis due to Actinomyces meyeri: Report of a Culture-Proven Case
Actinomyces meyeri is a Gram positive, strict anaerobic bacterium, which was first described by Meyer in 1911. Primary actinomycotic osteomyelitis is rare and primarily affects the cervicofacial region, including mandible. We present an unusual case of osteomyelitis of a long bone combined with myoabscess due to A. meyeri. A 70-year-old man was admitted for pain and pus discharge of the right e...
