Although all Actinomyces species are capable of producing primary pulmonary pathology, actinomycosis is a rare entity which is infrequently diagnosed. The clinician's lack of knowledge of the disease is frequently blamed for this, and it is estimated that its incidence in our environment is greater than suspected. We present our experience consisting of four cases of primary pulmonary actinomycosis (PPA) diagnosed at La Paz Hospital from 1974 to 1988. Its particular characteristics are emphasized as well as the need to include it in the differential diagnosis of chronic pulmonary infiltrations, cavitated lesions or pulmonary masses.
虽然所有放线菌属菌种都能够引发原发性肺部病变，但放线菌病是一种罕见的疾病，很少得到诊断。临床医生对该疾病缺乏了解常被归咎于此，据估计，在我们所处环境中其发病率高于人们的怀疑。我们介绍了1974年至1988年在拉巴斯医院诊断出的4例原发性肺放线菌病（PPA）的病例经验。文中强调了其特殊特征以及在慢性肺部浸润、空洞性病变或肺部肿块的鉴别诊断中纳入该病的必要性。
