Actinomycosis is a chronic contagious disease caused mainly by Actinomyces israelii which normally are found on gums, teeth and amygdalas. The infection is followed with abscess development.
The disease shows with four different forms and usually affects males. Actinomycosis sometimes occurs in females who use intrauterine device for contraception.
Symptoms
Abdominal form is caused by entering mouth emissions (infected with bacteria) into bowels. The infection damages bowels and abdominal membrane. Most common symptoms are pain, temperature increase, vomit, diarrhea and uncleared bowels, weight lowering. In abdominal cavity is formed a node and white matter may go out on skin via canals linking it with abdominal wall.
Cervical gnathic form usually starts with appearing of small, plain and steady node in mouth, on neck skin and below jaw. Inflation is sometimes followed with pain. Then node softens and liquid releases, it may contain small yellow flecks. The infection may spread to cheek, tongue, throat, salivary glands, cranial bones or brain.
Chest form is followed with pains in chest, body temperature increase and wet cough. While lungs are damaged insufficiently, these symptoms do not show. In some cases chest wall may perforate and white matter may go out via cracks.
In generalized form the infection damages skin, spine, brain, liver, kidneys, ureter, and in females – alvus and ovaries.
