We present a case of abdominal actinomycosis mimicking chronic appendicitis. Case: A 29-year old male was admitted with symptoms of right low quadrant pain for a few weeks. [omicsonline.org]

• Sulfur Granules

  The histological hallmark is the presence of “sulfur-granules” that are commonly considered diagnostic of actinomyceal infection, but are present in only 50% of cases [ 3 ]. [omicsonline.org]

• Abdominal Pain

  We present a case of a man who experienced night sweats, abdominal pain and fever for over 3 months, with incomplete response to broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male with a history of DM/HTN/alcoholic liver cirrhosis presented with diffuse abdominal pain for 3 days. The pain was associated with nausea, vomiting, and subjective fever. [journals.lww.com]

  Many people experience mild abdominal pain at first, and this may remain as their only symptom. The pain is usually located on the lower right side of the abdomen but can spread towards the belly button. The pain can either be dull or sharp. [medicalnewstoday.com]

• Dyspepsia

  He states that we must determine whether this is a primary disorder, a highly selected group of very ill patients with severe functional dyspepsia, or a collection of different problems leading to a final common pathway of chronic unexplainable nausea [journalsblog.gastro.org]

  Clues to the differential diagnosis include recent sore throat (mesenteric adenitis), previous episode (Crohn’s disease), weight loss (Crohn’s disease, caecal carcinoma), dyspepsia (cholecystitis, perforated ulcer), arthralgia (Yersinia enterocolitica [intechopen.com]

For a ruptured appendix, the prognosis is more serious. Decades ago, a rupture was often fatal. Surgery and antibiotics have lowered the death rate to nearly zero, but repeated operations and a long recovery may be necessary. [merckmanuals.com]
