  • Title: Actinomycosis at multiple colonic sites.
    Author: Deshmukh N, Heaney SJ.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1986 Dec; 81(12):1212-4. PubMed ID: 3788934.
    Abstract:
    A case of actinomycosis affecting multiple sites in the colon, masquerading as diverticulitis, is presented. Final diagnosis was delayed until a tuboovarian abscess developed that required resection and was found to contain sulfur granules. Bacteriology, pathophysiology, and antibiotic treatment of abdominal actinomycosis is discussed. Difficulties in diagnosis are mentioned.
