Resumen
GALINDO, Javier Leonardo; FAJARDO, Ernesto; OJEDA, Paulina y CARRILLO, Jorge Alberto. Multiple hepatic abscesses and empyema: An unusual presentation of actinomycosis. Infect. [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.61-64. ISSN 0123-9392. https://doi.org/10.22354/in.v21i1.643.
Actinomycosis is an infectious disease caused by anaerobic bacteria of the genus Actinomyces spp. In general, actinomycosis presents a latent clinical course that makes its diagnosis difficult.
We describe a patient with empyema by Actinomyces spp. secondary to rupture into the pleural cavity of a liver abscess.
