Abstract : Actinomycosis is an uncommon infectious disease caused predominantly by Actinomyces israelii. Infection with bacteria of the genus Actinomyces is not common but may occur in patients with malignant disease. The simultaneous occurrence of Actinomyces viscosus and T-cell ALL has not, to our knowledge, been described previously. Here we report a case who presented with symptomatic pleural effusion due to opportunistic infection caused by Actinomyces viscosus.
