Actinomycosis is an atypical cause of infection in the head and neck area, especially in children. A rare incidence of actinomycosis, its nonspecific clinical signs that mimic other pathological conditions, as well as a complicated identification of microorganism lead to diagnostic delays in clinical practice. Besides an accurate diagnosis, it is of an utmost importance to pinpoint relevant predisposing factors, which might result in the infection. We present a clinical case of actinomycotic infection of the thyroid gland in the pediatric patient at our department.
放线菌病是头颈部感染的一种非典型病因，尤其在儿童中较为罕见。放线菌病的发病率较低，其非特异性的临床症状类似于其他病理情况，再加上微生物的鉴定较为复杂，这导致了临床实践中的诊断延迟。除了准确的诊断外，确定相关的易患因素也非常重要，这些因素可能导致感染。我们在本院科室报告了一例儿童甲状腺放线菌感染的临床病例。
