RESUMO
Actinomyces is an anaerobic, gram positive, rod shape bacteria that doesn't create spores. Actinomyces is part of the mouth, intestines, vagina and upper respiratory system flora. The infection appears mostly on the face, neck, abdomen and pelvis in cases of mucosa injury and most common in immunosuppressed patients. The spread of Actinomyces through the blood system is rare. In this article we present a 9 year old male patient with no history of diseases who was diagnosed with prolonged bacteremia of A. naeslundii without specific infection excluding severe caries. Characterization of bacteria from the blood culture was performed by molecular biology and the patient was treated with Ampicillin and tooth extraction that led to the disappearance of the bacteremia.

Pasteurella spp. is a natural habitant of the oral flora and digestive tract of various domestic animals. There are several species of Pasteurella which can cause disease in humans. The most common species is Pmultocida, generally associated with an animal bite. The infection that evolves is usually constricted to the area of the bite. Systemic forms of infection are rare and were described in patients with underlying diseases. The authors would like to report on a case of a healthy 21-month-old child diagnosed with Pasteurella canis bacteremia after exposure to rabbit secretions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of bacteremia which was caused by Pasteurella canis.

We report a case of acute submandibular sialadenitis in a ten days old newborn. The disease was diagnosed at an early stage, therefore rapid antibiotic treatment was initiated, and no surgical intervention was needed. In a long term follow-up, a full recovery was observed. The authors reviewed the literature and describe the common etiologies and recommended treatment options for submandibular sialadenitis.
