  • Title: Acid-fast actinomyces in a child with pulmonary actinomycosis.
    Author: Lowe RN, Azimi PH, McQuitty J.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 1980 Jul; 12(1):124-6. PubMed ID: 7419697.
    Abstract:
    Open-lung biopsy in a child with chronic pneumonia revealed branched gram-positive acid-fast organisms, later identified as Actinomyces israelii. Like Nocardia asteroides, A israelii can be acid fast by the commonly used Putt stain. The pneumonia was cured with 12 weeks of penicillin treatment.
