1 University of Tennessee Department of Pathology and the City of Memphis hospitals, Memphis, Tennessee

In a study of cardiac actinomycosis stimulated by the rare case herein reported, we found the disease affecting primarily the young (average age, 30), with a male majority (70 percent). In 63 of 86 cases, the heart disease was secondary to extension of primary thoracic actinomycosis. Less than half of the patients exhibited cardiac symptoms.
