Extensive Actinomyces naeslundii infection in a child

S R Dobson et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1987 Jul.

Abstract

A case of extensive Actinomyces naeslundii infection in a globally retarded patient is reported. To our knowledge, this uncommon Actinomyces species has not previously been described as a cause of widespread disease. Mental retardation and thoracic scoliosis were identified as features predisposing to infection.
