A2 - Loscalzo, Joseph PY - 2018 T2 - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 20e AB - Actinomycosis is uncommon, and most physicians’ personal experience with its clinical presentations is limited. Laboratory identification of the etiologic agents from the order Actinomycetales is not routine. Thus actinomycosis remains a diagnostic challenge, even for a skilled clinician. However, this infection is usually curable with medical therapy alone. Therefore, an awareness of the full spectrum of clinical syndromes can expedite diagnosis and treatment and minimize unnecessary surgical interventions, morbidity, and mortality.
