Abstract
A case of extensive Actinomyces naeslundii infection in a globally retarded patient is reported. To our knowledge, this uncommon Actinomyces species has not previously been described as a cause of widespread disease. Mental retardation and thoracic scoliosis were identified as features predisposing to infection.
