Overview
Pathophysiology
- Actinomycosis is caused by the bacteria Actinomyces which is a normal commensal of the human oral cavity but less common in the female genital tract and lower gastrointestinal tract.
- The most frequent manifestation of actinomycosis is cervicofacial actinomycosis. This infection occurs mostly from dental manipulation, dental caries, or oromaxillofacial trauma.
- The common clinical forms of are:
- Cervicofacial actinomycosis (lumpy jaw)
- Thoracic actinomycosis
- Abdominal actinomycosis
- Pelvic actinomycosis
- Dermatologic actinomycosis
- Pediatric actinomycosis
- Opthalmological actinomycosis
- Actinomyces is usually
