In the present study, three Sahiwal cows with Actinomycosis presented to the authors in different periods of time were subjected to three different recommended treatment protocols viz cow no. 1 was given potassium iodide 7 g/day, orally for ten days, [en.engormix.com]

The concomitant flora, when present, is usually less complex than that of typical actinomycoses. Removal of the lacrimal concretions that are usually present and local application of antimicrobials always result in prompt cure. [enetmd.com]

This patient presented with a 2-day history of hemisensory loss, hyper-reflexia and retro-orbital headache, 7 days following a dental extraction for apical peridonitis. Neuroimaging showed a large left parietal abscess with surrounding empyema. [casereports.bmj.com]

A triad of chronic consolidation, pleural effusion and rib periostitis may be present ( 97 ). [antimicrobe.org]

• Pain

  Pathology The lesion begins as a painless swelling of the affected bone, the swelling becomes more painful and enlarges over a number of weeks, gaining fistulous tracts which discharge pus. [en.wikivet.net]

  The disease is characterized by the development of multiple abscesses (painful, hard, pus-filled swellings) and draining sinus tracts (channels that extend from the site of infection to an opening at the skin surface), which exude sulfur granules (yellow [britannica.com]

  Fever, abdominal pain, a palpable mass, and the development of an external sinus may be the presenting features. [antimicrobe.org]

  A painful swelling appears and pus and characteristic yellow granules discharge through small openings that develop in the skin. Poor oral hygiene may contribute to this form of the infection. [enetmd.com]

• Sulfur Granules

  The disease is characterized by the development of multiple abscesses (painful, hard, pus-filled swellings) and draining sinus tracts (channels that extend from the site of infection to an opening at the skin surface), which exude sulfur granules (yellow [britannica.com]

  Bovine has both chronic proliferative osteomyelitis and granulomatous lesions and humans only have granulomatous lesions -granulomatous lesions- called sulfur granules bc yellow-white color. [quizlet.com]

  The presence of sulfur granules is highly suggestive but not diagnostic of disease. [antimicrobe.org]

• Fever

  Thoracic actinomycosis may result from inhalation of the organism into the air passages and is usually associated with weight loss, night sweats, coughing, and high fever. [britannica.com]

  Fever, abdominal pain, a palpable mass, and the development of an external sinus may be the presenting features. [antimicrobe.org]

• Anemia

  Presenting symptoms included abdominal pain, and weight loss, and these patients frequently demonstrated vaginal discharge, fever, anemia and leukocytosis. [antimicrobe.org]

• Malaise

  Symptoms may include pelvic pain, leukorrhea, menorrhagia, and amenorrhea, associated with fever, malaise, weakness, and weight loss, in any combination. [antimicrobe.org]

• Pelvic Mass

  pelvic mass not due to other cause. [antimicrobe.org]

• Trismus

  Trismus may be prominent early in the patient's course; however, cervical lymphadenopathy is uncommon. Direct extension may involve the tongue, sinuses, and meninges and rarely, contribute to periostitis or osteomyelitis of the mandible ( 74 ). [antimicrobe.org]

Treatment Surgical treatment is possible when the lesions are small and prolonged parenteral penicillin treatment may be beneficial early in the disease. [en.wikivet.net]

It was subjected to a symptomatic treatment with a large amount of penicillin, which resulted in success in a short time. Histopathological examination revealed granulomatous inflammation. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

The book starts by describing the etiology, microscopical appearance, production of odor, epidemiology and pathogenesis, direction of peripheral spreading, differential and clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of antinomycosis. [books.google.com]

Prognosis The prognosis of cervicofacial and cutaneous actinomycotic infections is good provided that the diagnosis is established early and antimicrobial treatment is adequate. [enetmd.com]

A poor prognosis was correlated with disease onset more than 2 months before diagnosis and treatment, no antimicrobial therapy, no surgery, and needle aspiration drainage of abscess lesions ( 88 ). [antimicrobe.org]
