Oronasal actinomycosis is an infection seldom described in the literature, especially in the form of a co-infection with pulmonary tuberculosis. We report the case of a 48-year-old male admitted to the isolation ward due to active pulmonary tuberculosis, with a history of diabetes and alcohol abuse.

The patient was hospitalized with a diagnosis of pneumonia and required noninvasive ventilation due to severe hypercapnia.
