Actinomycosis in HIV infection: a review of a rare complication.
International Journal of STD & AIDS 2000 June
The emergence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the onset of the AIDS epidemic has been associated with the frequent presentation of otherwise rare opportunistic infections and neoplasms. Despite the impairments of cellular and humoral immunity that accompany HIV infection, the prevalence of actinomycosis in the HIV-infected population has remained low. This article reviews previously reported cases of actinomycosis in HIV-positive and AIDS patients. Microbiological, pathological, diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of actinomycosis in this population are discussed. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of actinomycosis as the cause of a persistent inflammatory lesion in these patients and know the correct techniques for collecting and submitting tissue specimens for anaerobic culture.
