Konka bullozada aktinomikoz: Olgu sunumu

Gram pozitif, anaerob-mikroaerofilik yapıda bir bakteri olan actinomyces, insan vücudunda kommensal olarak yaşar. Bu yazıda 51 yaşındaki kadın hastada konka bullozada aktinomikoz sunulmuş ve aktinomikozun çok ender bildirilen atipik yerleşimlerine bir olgu eklenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Aynı zamanda tanısal ve tedavi edici yaklaşımlar tartışılmıştır. Otorinolaringolojinin günlük pratiğinde, baş boyun bölgesi ve burun boşluğundaki akıntılı hastaların ayırıcı tanısında aktinomikoz da akılda tutulmalıdır.
