Tracheal bronchus is a congenital malformation comprising an abnormal bronchus originating from the trachea or other bronchus. This malformation has been associated with recurrent pneumonia in children, but is rarely associated with infection in adults. Actinomyces species are rare causes of necrotizing pneumonias that often masquerade as malignancy, lung abscesses and tuberculosis.
A case involving a 46-year-old man with a tracheal bronchus and chronic pneumonia syndrome is presented. Bronchialveolar lavage and transthoracic needle biopsy demonstrated the presence of Actinomyces meyeri and Fusobacterium species.
The present article reports the first documented case of actinomycosis occurring in a patient with a tracheal bronchus.
气管支气管是一种先天性畸形,包括起源于气管或其他支气管的异常支气管。这种畸形与儿童反复肺炎有关,但在成人中很少与感染有关。放线菌属是一种罕见的坏死性肺炎的病因,常表现为恶性肿瘤、肺脓肿和肺结核的特征。
本文报告了一例 46 岁男性患者,患有气管支气管和慢性肺炎综合征。支气管肺泡灌洗和经胸针活检显示存在梅耶放线菌和梭杆菌属。
本文报道了首例在气管支气管患者中发生的放线菌病病例。
