Human Actinomycosis: A Brief Study of Some Species of Actinomyces Obtained from Human Sources

Splenic Actinomycosis: Unusual Presentation

Splenic abscess is not a common condition and actinomyces as a cause is very rarely reported. We report a case of actinomycosis of spleen in a 12 year-old boy, with a few days history of abdominal pain and fever. Past medical history was not significant. Due to sever abdominal pain and tenderness condition laparatomy was done that a small perforated area was seen on hilum of spleen, so splenect...

جدا سازی و بررسی اکتینومایسزهای دهانی از بیماران مبتلا به بیماری پریودنتال

Actinomyces species are normal residents of the mouth cavity, gastrointestinal tract and female genital tract. The genus consists of gram-positive bacteria, strictly anaerobic or microaerophilic. The bacteria are opportunists with a low virulence potential that cause actinomycosis only when the normal mucosal barriers are disrupted. The main purpose of this study was the isolation of Actinomyce...

A Case Report of Periapical Actinomycosis of Maxilla

Actinomycosis is a chronic and less common infectious process that established by Actinomyces israilii. Involvement of faciocervical region is more common than thorasic and visceral types and typically involves the angle of mandible and with less occurrence rate the upper jaw may also be involved. Periapical lesions of maxilla that involved in this process by Actinomyces israilii are rare and c...

Vocal Cord Actinomycosis: A Case Report

Introduction: Actinomycosis is a systemic chronic bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces Israelii, an anaerobic organism normally resident in the human mouth. However, the actinomycosis of the larynx is very rare, and only about 15 cases have been reported in the literature so far. Most of the cases reported occurred in patients who had previously undergone radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer...
