  • Title: Abdominal actinomycosis.
    Author: Hadary A, Lernau OZ, Nissan S.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1986 Aug; 41(4):239-40. PubMed ID: 3765889.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal actinomycosis seldom occurs before puberty. The symptomatology of abdominal actinomycosis is non-specific and the diagnosis is difficult to make. Previously, this condition was associated with a high mortality rate. The following patient had a flank abscess due to actinomycosis as a late complication of perforated appendix which was diagnosed by biopsy and culture. The patient responded to a prolonged course of chemotherapy with intravenous penicillin and metronidazole. This case illustrates the problems encountered in the diagnosis and management of childhood actinomycosis.
