Overview
In 1970, its annual incidence was estimated to be 1 per 300,000. Its incidence has been declined due the advent of widespread use of antibiotics following dental surgeries. Actinomycosis is commonly found between 4th to 6th decade of life and very rare in infants and children. Males are more commonly affected by Actinomycosis than females.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Actinomycosis is a rare disease and estimation its incidence is difficult because of many unrecognized cases of oral-cervicofacial disease (the most common form) that are successfully treated empirically[1][2]
- Its incidence had been declined due the advent of widespread use of antibiotics following dental surgeries.
- In 1970, its annual incidence was 1 per 300,000.
Age
Actinomycosis is commonly found between 4th to 6th decade of life and very rare in infants and children
Gender
Males are more commonly affected by Actinomycosis than females.
