We report a case of actinomycosis presenting as a knee swelling in a 34 year-old man. Knee actinomycosis poses a diagnosis challenge to clinicians as it is rare, often mimics knee tuberculosis and culture of the causative microbes is technically difficult. The classic microscopic appearance of this Gram-positive bacteria often forms the basis of diagnosis.
我们报告一例放线菌病，表现为一名34岁男性的膝关节肿胀。膝关节放线菌病对临床医生来说是一个诊断难题，因为它很罕见，常酷似膝关节结核，而且致病微生物的培养在技术上有困难。这种革兰氏阳性菌的典型微观表现常常是诊断的依据。
