99mTc-UBI 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scan in craniofacial Actinomyces Israelii: Misdiagnosis of cranial bone tumor - A case report.
Surgical neurology international, 2020Co-Authors: María F. De La Cerda-vargas, José Antonio Candelas Rangel, Elizabeth Meza Mata, Araceli Ramirez-cardenas, Bayron Sandoval-bonillaAbstract:Background Actinomycosis is a rare infection, frequently misdiagnosed as a neoplasia. This chronic and granulomatous disease is caused by Actinomyces Israelii species. Cervicofacial actinomycosis occurs in 60% of cases and the diagnosis is commonly made by histopathology study. Case Description We report a case of fronto-orbital osteomyelitis initially misdiagnosed as a cranial bone meningioma, but later proved to be a case of actinomycosis. 99mTechnetium (99mTc) three-phase bone single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and 99mTc-ubiquicidin (UBI) 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scans were performed to corroborate the control of the infection. Conclusion Craniofacial actinomycosis is the most common presentation of actinomycosis. However, it continues to be a rare and difficult disease to diagnose and is often confused with a neoplastic process. The 99mTc-UBI 29-41 bone SPECT/CT scan could be an auxiliary noninvasive diagnostic alternative and a follow-up method for these patients.

Infection of a total hip arthroplasty with Actinomyces Israelii: Report of a case.
North American journal of medical sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Nicholas A Marriage, Adil Ismaeel, Eric L. MastersonAbstract:Context : Infection of following total hip arthroplasties can be classified based on the timing of infection. Late infections with Actinomyces Israelii are extremely rare with only 3 previously reported cases in literature. We present another case of a late infection with Actinomyces Israelii in a total hip arthroplasty 9 years following implantation. Case Report : A 71-year-old male with diabetes mellitus presented with right hip pain 9 years following a total hip arthroplasty. Physical examination revealed localised pain and biochemical investigations showed elevated inflammatory markers. X-rays were suspicious for infection and a collection around the prosthesis was confirmed by MRI scan. The patient underwent debridement and removal of prosthesis. Peri-operative specimen cultures isolated Actinomyces Israelii . The patient responded to a combination of vancomycin followed by ciprofloxacin and linezolid therapy before undergoing a successful second-stage reimplantation surgery. Conclusion : This is the first reported case of late haematogenous infection by Actinomyces Israelii in a total hip arthroplasty in a patient with diabetes mellitus as the only risk factor. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy and two-stage reimplantation arthroplasty.
