Thoracic actinomycosis was diagnosed by bacterial isolation in a dog with a history of chronic productive cough, weight loss, pyrexia and a pulmonary mass lesion on radiography. Therapy with amoxycillin and clindamycin did not significantly improve the patient's condition and euthanasia was performed during exploratory thoracotomy. Histological examination of the affected lung lobes revealed the presence of peribronchiolar adenocarcinoma. Actinomycosis has been reported to co-exist with pulmonary neoplasia in humans and may mask the presence of malignancy.
一只患有慢性咳痰、体重减轻、发热病史且胸部X光显示有肺部肿块病变的犬,通过细菌分离诊断为胸段放线菌病。阿莫西林和克林霉素治疗后,病情未显著改善,在开胸探查术中实施了安乐死。对受影响肺叶的组织学检查显示存在细支气管周围腺癌。据报道,放线菌病在人类中与肺肿瘤共存,可能掩盖恶性肿瘤的存在。
