Actinomycosis is a rare soft tissue infection caused by a gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria. It is seen only approximately once a year in major medical centers, and is rarer still in the pediatric population. About 50% of all cases of actinomycosis involve the head and neck. The organism is very difficult to isolate in culture and the differential diagnosis is extensive, prompting one reviewer to name actinomycosis the "masquerader" of the head and neck. We review three cases of actinomycosis over the past ten years (1981-1990) at Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, Texas.
放线菌病是一种由革兰氏阳性厌氧菌引起的罕见软组织感染。在大型医疗中心，每年大约仅见一例，在儿科人群中更为罕见。所有放线菌病病例中约50%累及头颈部。该病原体在培养中很难分离，鉴别诊断范围广泛，促使一位评论家将放线菌病称为头颈部的“伪装者”。我们回顾了过去十年（1981 - 1990年）在德克萨斯州休斯顿市德克萨斯儿童医院发生的三例放线菌病病例。
