Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare lung disease caused by the bacteria Actinomyces, making diagnosis challenging due to non-specific symptoms and imaging results.
- A case study details a 59-year-old man whose condition stemmed from poor dental hygiene, leading to lung and chest wall infections with osteolysis and skin fistulas.
- Diagnosis was confirmed through histopathological analysis of samples from the fistulas, showing Actinomyces, and after six months of antibiotics, the patient improved and experienced healing of skin lesions and partial lung recovery.
