Popis: |
We report the case of a 7-year-old girl with a history of San Filippo disease who presented with gingivitis and painful chest tumefaction. Microbiology of this tumefaction identified Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (AA), a slowly growing, commensal, Gram negative bacillus that is a very unusual cause of thoracic infection. We discuss this case in the light of available literature of pediatric cases of AA thoracic infection. Conclusion: a tumor-like chest mass in a patient with multiple disabilities should evoke an invasive AA infection. |
