It can involve any organ, but cervicofacial disease is the most common. On the other hand, in the field of otorhinolaryngology, fungal infection is usually detected in the ears, nasal sinuses, mouth, or pharynx, and the most common causative organisms are Aspergillus or Candida species. Involvement of the larynx, not only by actinomyces infection, but also by any fungal infection, is relatively rare. Herein, we present a case of co-infection with Actinomyces and Aspergillus in a 67-year-old male patient. The patient had a number of risk factors, including myelodysplastic syndrome, organizing pneumonia, old myocardial infarction, heart failure, heavy smoking, and oral steroid therapy. He presented with the complaints of sore throat and hoarseness after he got the ful. We recognized redness around the vocal cords at the first visit, and initiated the patient on treatment with acyclovir under the suspicion of varicella zoster virus infection. Although the condition seemed to improve initially, sulfur granules and thick white material eventually appeared in the larynx. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of actinomycosis and aspergillosis. The patient improved with penicillin plus antifungal drug therapy.}, pages = {134--138}, title = {喉頭放線菌症と真菌症が同時に診断された1例}, volume = {156}, year = {2021} }
