Endobronchial actinomycosis.

Abstract

Endobronchial actinomycosis was found to be the cause of right-sided atelectasis and haemoptysis in a 57 year old man without predisposing conditions. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy revealed occlusion of the intermediate bronchus by yellow-white masses. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically and by positive Actinomyces culture from bioptic material. Prolonged antibiotic treatment resulted in complete recovery, without need for surgical resection.
