Abstract

Actinomyces israelii usually causes chronic suppurative and granulomatous infections. Isolated pleural effusion due to Actinomycosis is rare. This report describes an unusual case of thoracic empyema caused by A. israelii with sudden onset and rapid deterioration that failed to respond to chest tube drainage and antibiotherapy. Empyema drainage and visceral parietal pleurectomy by a left postolateral thoracotomy proved to be of vital importance and a permanent solution.

Özet

Actinomyces israelii genellikle kronik süpüratif ve granülomatöz infeksiyonlara neden olur. Aktinomikoza bağlı izole plevral efüzyon nadirdir. Burada, A. israelii'nin neden olduğu, ani başlayan, hızla bozulan ve göğüs tüp drenajı ve antibiyoterapiye yanıt vermeyen nadir bir torasik ampiyemli olgu sunulmaktadır. Sol posterolateral torakotomi ile ampiyem drenajı ve viseral pariyetal plörektomi ile tedavi edildi ve kalıcı çözüm sağlandı.
