AB  - Actinomycosis  is  a  slowly  progressive,  suppurative  infection  characterized  by  fistula  formation.  A  number  of  gram-positive,  non–spore-forming  bacteria  from  the  genus  Actinomyces  are  the  etiologic  agents.  It  is  encountered  worldwide  in  3  main  clinical  forms:  cervicofacial,  thoracic,  and  abdominal.  Metastatic  lesions  to  other  sites  are  also  reported.  With  appropriate  therapy,  most  patients  with  cervicofacial  or  abdominal  infection  recover  completely.
