Abstract: Objective To summarize the clinical data of patients with pharyngeal actinomycosis and discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment methods. Methods Six cases of pharyngeal actinomycosis diagnosed between September 2015 and October 2019 by a combination of video rhinolaryngoscopy, screening for specific infection, secretion culture, and biopsy were evaluated. The patients were treated with penicillin antibiotics, local cleaning, and atomization inhalation. Results All cases were diagnosed as pharyngeal actinomycosis, and all the lesions disappeared, accompanied by symptomatic relief “After treatment”. there was no recurrence during the 3 months to 1 year of follow-ups. Conclusion Pharyngeal actinomycosis is related to local chronic disease, and it is mainly confirmed by pathological examination. Comprehensive treatment with antibiotics, atomization, and local cleaning have definite outcomes.
