Abstract
Actinomycosis is an infectious disease caused by anaerobic bacteria of the genus Actinomyces spp. In general, actinomycosis presents a latent clinical course that makes its diagnosis difficult. We describe a patient with empyema by Actinomyces spp. secondary to rupture into the pleural cavity of a liver abscess.
