Pulmonary actinomycosis complicating infliximab therapy for Crohn disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The use of anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) agents has expanded significantly over the past few years, particularly for rheumatological diseases and Crohn disease. A number of associated opportunistic infections have been observed as a result of suppression of T-cell-mediated immunity, the most frequent being tuberculosis. This report describes a case of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 52-year-old patient receiving regular infusions of infliximab, an anti-TNF agent, for Crohn disease. He presented with a 12-day history of fever, night sweats and a non-productive cough on a background of a 9-year history of Crohn terminal ileitis. There was radiological evidence of a left upper lobe non-cavitatory pneumonia and bronchoscopic lavage fluid eventually grew Actinomyces graevenitzii. The patient was hospitalised and improved with antibiotic therapy. Within 4 weeks there was almost complete radiological resolution and infliximab was restarted after 4 months without further complication.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
