Esophageal actinomycosis in a patient with AIDS.

Actinomycosis has been rarely reported in patients with HIV/AIDS in contrast to other opportunistic and common pathogens. We report a case of esophageal ulcer disease, secondary to actinomycosis occurring in a patient with recurrent odynophagia. The diagnosis was made histologically only after repea...

We report a case of esophageal ulcer disease, secondary to actinomycosis occurring in a patient with recurrent odynophagia.
