| Popis: |
Actinomycosis is now a very uncommonly diagnosed human disease. Major medical centers report approximately one case a year. The pathogenesis of actinomycosis is unclear, but trauma provides a portal of entry. The cervicofacial form is the most common and usually appears as a chronic swelling with one or more draining sinus tracts. For treatment, penicillin in high doses is suggested. This case report presents a case of cervicofacial actinomycosis in a 14 year old boy which was misdiagnosed for a long time and the treatment of the disease with mezlocillin, a new antibiotic in the treatment of actinomycosis. |
