Esophageal actinomycosis in a patient with AIDS.

S A Lee1, G W Palmer, E L Cooney.   

Abstract

Actinomycosis has been rarely reported in patients with HIV/AIDS in contrast to other opportunistic and common pathogens. We report a case of esophageal ulcer disease, secondary to actinomycosis occurring in a patient with recurrent odynophagia. The diagnosis was made histologically only after repeated upper endoscopy with biopsies.
