The radiological features of three cases of pulmonary actinomycosis in children are presented. Two of the cases had the classical roentgen features of chronic consolidation with overlying rib periostitis. The third had non specific consolidation but demonstrated extension through the diaphragm. Two of our cases were mentally subnormal children in institutional care. Their pulmonary pathology is almost certainly attributal to poor dental hygiene, a constant problem in this group of children. Hence, although pulmonary actinomycosis is rare in the general populus, we suggest it might be suspected more often in the subnormal group when chronic consolidation is present.
本文介绍了3例儿童肺放线菌病的放射学特征。其中2例具有慢性实变伴肋骨骨膜炎的典型X线特征。第3例表现为非特异性实变，但显示病变穿过膈肌。我们的2例病例是在福利院接受照料的智力发育迟缓儿童。他们的肺部病变几乎可以肯定归因于口腔卫生不良，这在这类儿童中是一个常见问题。因此，虽然肺放线菌病在普通人群中很少见，但我们认为，当存在慢性实变时，在智力发育迟缓儿童群体中可能更常怀疑该病。
