Actinomycosis is a relatively uncommon bacterial disease of childhood, especially when presenting as deep-seated infections. Only 10% of affected patients are younger than 18 years of age. In children, cervical actinomycosis is the most common form of clinical presentation, and among the abdominopelvic form, renal abscesses are rare. We describe an uncommon and severe case of a five-year-old Costa Rican girl with thoracic and renal actinomycosis who required a complete nephrectomy.
放线菌病是一种相对罕见的儿童细菌性疾病,尤其是当表现为深部感染时。仅10%的受影响患者年龄小于18岁。在儿童中,颈部放线菌病是最常见的临床表现形式,而在腹盆腔型中,肾脓肿很少见。我们描述了一例罕见且严重的病例,一名五岁的哥斯达黎加女孩患有胸段和肾放线菌病,需要进行全肾切除术。
