We have had the chance to follow three patients with thoracic actinomycosis in a relatively short period of time (18 months). They were three male patients, with chronic dental infections. The illness appeared as toxic syndrome and fever. In all three cases diagnosis was made through samples obtained through fibropticbronchoscopy. At the same time all of them evolved favorably to the antibiotic treatment (penicillin and/or tetracyclines) prescribed. We conclude that the diagnosis of thoracic actinomycosis should be suspected in those patients with a compatible clinical and radiological condition, and who has suffered previous weakening diseases and periodontal lesions.
