Actinomycosis is an endogenous bacterial infection caused by . This bacterium reside on the mucosa of oral cavity, tonsils, and genitourinary tract. Any insult such as trauma, surgery, or foreign body disrupts the mucosal barrier and gives entry to the underlying tissue to cause disease.

Actinomycosis is a suppurative granulomatous infection caused by the Gram-positive bacillus Actinomyces israelii. It rarely affects the pelvis, but its incidence appears to be increasing, possibly due to the frequent use of intrauterine devices (IUDs). We report the case of a patient with an IUD in place for over 10 years who presented with pelvic pain, general health deterioration, and imaging findings suggesting a neoplastic origin.

Methods: The three test groups were as follows: light plus doxycycline (L+DOX+), light plus doxycycline and hypericin (L + DOX + HYP +), and control groups. aPDI was evaluated by the number of grown colonies on a dense nutrient medium after 12, 24, and 48 hours of bacterial suspension cultivation.
Article Synopsis
- Abdominal actinomycosis is a rare infection, often misdiagnosed, caused by bacteria normally found in the oral cavity and gut, which can lead to conditions that mimic serious abdominal issues, including cancers.
- A case study of a 59-year-old male with existing health problems showed how he was initially misdiagnosed with appendicitis but was later found to have actinomycosis during surgery.
- The patient received successful treatment through surgery and penicillin, illustrating the need for healthcare providers to consider abdominal actinomycosis when diagnosing abdominal pain and masses.
