Six cases of pulmonary infection with and one case of infection with are described. The incidence of thoracic actinomycosis has declined recently and the classical presentation with chronic discharging sinuses is now uncommon. The cases described illustrate some of the forms which the disease may take. Actinomycotic infection has been noted, not infrequently, to co-exist with bronchial carcinoma and a case illustrating this association is described. Sputum cytology as practised for the diagnosis of bronchial carcinoma has helped to identify the fungi in the sputum. Treatment is discussed, particularly the possible use of oral antibiotics rather than penicillin by injection.
本文描述了6例肺部 感染病例和1例 感染病例。胸段放线菌病的发病率近来有所下降，伴有慢性引流窦道的典型表现如今已不常见。所描述的病例说明了该疾病可能呈现的一些形式。人们已经注意到，放线菌感染常常与支气管癌并存，本文描述了1例说明这种关联的病例。用于诊断支气管癌的痰细胞学检查有助于识别痰中的真菌。文中讨论了治疗方法，特别是口服抗生素而非注射青霉素的可能应用。
