Two patients with chest infections caused by Actinomyces meyeri were seen during a 5-yr period. One patient was ill for 2 yr and had chronic infection manifested by bilateral cavitary and fibrotic changes on chest roentgenogram. A. meyeri was isolated from a chest wall lesion, transtracheal aspirate, and lung tissue. The other patient presented with a subcutaneous abscess of the left hip that yielded A. meyeri on culture. A localized lung infection and empyema were found. Both patients had other aerobes or anaerobes recovered from material haboring A. meyeri, a frequent finding in actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces israelii. To our knowledge, thoracic actinomycosis caused by A. meyeri has not been previously described.
在5年期间，我们诊治了2例由迈耶放线菌引起胸部感染的患者。1例患者患病2年，胸部X线片显示双侧空洞及纤维化改变，表现为慢性感染。从胸壁病变、经气管抽吸物及肺组织中分离出迈耶放线菌。另1例患者表现为左臀部皮下脓肿，培养出迈耶放线菌，还发现了局限性肺部感染和脓胸。2例患者从含有迈耶放线菌的标本中均分离出其他需氧菌或厌氧菌，这在以色列放线菌引起的放线菌病中是常见的发现。据我们所知，此前尚未有迈耶放线菌引起胸放线菌病的报道。
