Actinomycosis of the larynx represents an unusual presentation for a common bacterium comprising the oral and oropharyngeal florae. There are few cases reported in the literature of laryngeal actinomycosis occurring primarily in the immunocompromised population. Here, we present a case in a 74-year-old man that occurred in the setting of neutropenia as a result of chemotherapy. Once the diagnosis was made with biopsy of the larynx, the infection was resolved after a prolonged course of penicillin-based therapy.
喉放线菌病是一种由常见的口腔和口咽菌群细菌引起的罕见病症。文献中报道的原发性喉放线菌病病例较少，主要发生在免疫功能低下人群中。在此，我们报告一例74岁男性病例，该病例发生在化疗导致中性粒细胞减少的情况下。经喉活检确诊后，经过长期的青霉素治疗，感染得到解决。
