[A not so common "community" acquired pneumonia].
Pulmonary actinomycosis is a rare infection, the clinical presentation of which usually suggests tuberculosis or pulmonary neoplasia. We report the case of a 50-year-old male patient, with a peculiar initial clinical presentation mimicking acute community acquired pneumonia but with an atypical evolution leading to a final diagnosis of actinomycosis.
