Abstract
Open-lung biopsy in a child with chronic pneumonia revealed branched gram-positive acid-fast organisms, later identified as Actinomyces israelii. Like Nocardia asteroides, A israelii can be acid fast by the commonly used Putt stain. The pneumonia was cured with 12 weeks of penicillin treatment.Entities:
