A case of abdominal Actinomycosis

Actinomycosis is an infection caused by Actinomyces, a chronic and sub-acute cause of human disease. This bacterium resides primarily in certain areas of the body, including the mouth, the digestive system and the genital tract. But in general, this bacterium can capture all areas of the human body. There is a risk of infection in any part of the body that has defects in the dam (skin and mucosa), but in previous studies, more than 50% of the infection was reported by the bacterium in the head and neck areas. On the other hand, the diagnosis of infection by the bacterium is very difficult because the symptoms of the disease mimic other diseases such as malignancy and tuberculosis. In this study, we introduce a patient with abdominal actinomycosis.
