Actinomyces are gram-positive aerobic-growing bacteria that are part of human bacterial flora. Actinomyces infections, Which are more prevalent among men than among women (3:1), usually affect patients in their fourth decade and most often involve A. israelli (85%). Thoracic, abdominal or pelvic actinomycosis is uncommon. Pulmonary infections result more from aspiration of oral secretions than from direct extension. We report one case of necrotizing pneumonia of a patient with previous stab wound injury in the affected hemithorax and an unusual aggressive behavior.
