Actinomycosis Cervical-Maxillofacial

Actinomycosis of the cervicomaxillofacialis (A. cervicognathofacialis) is a rare infectious disease caused by the anaerobic bacterium Actinomyces israelii. This disease can affect various organs and tissues, but in most cases it affects the head and neck area.

Actinomycosis cervicomaxillofacial can manifest as abscesses, purulent discharge, fistulas and tumors in the jaws, face, neck and mouth. It usually develops as a result of inflammatory processes such as dental infections, trauma and surgery, as well as in the presence of chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Symptoms of cervicomaxillofacial actinomycosis include tenderness, swelling, purulent discharge, fistulas, and pressure. In some cases, even skeletal deformation may occur.

To diagnose cervical-maxillofacial actinomycosis, bacteriological and histological studies, as well as X-ray studies, are carried out. Treatment usually involves surgical removal of the affected tissue combined with antibiotic therapy.

Despite the fact that cervicomaxillofacial actinomycosis is a rare disease, its diagnosis and treatment require specialized medical intervention. Seeking medical help early can help prevent complications from developing and reduce the risk of reoccurrence.

Since this year, this disease has been introduced into a special medical examination in Moscow. Actinomycosis is a name for purulent diseases of the skin and soft tissues, provoked by special radiant bacteria - acrin, which are also called radiate bacteria. These bacteria are active only in humans and animals, and cannot survive in the environment. The microorganism is characterized by specific branching in tissues and is able to live for a very long time, maintaining pathogenicity. This pathogen was discovered in 1875 by the Russian microbiologist P.F. Zdrodovsky.

**Development of actinomycosis cervicofacial

Actinomycosis of the cervical-maxillofacial region is an infectious disease. It is caused by a certain type of bacteria that is named after the Greek mythological hero Actin. These bacteria have the ability to form in large groups, resembling buckwheat grains or a berry brush in appearance. The bacteria are gram-negative, but do not stain with Gram. In actinomycosis, they are located in chains, granules or plates along the periphery of the inflammation and inside limited cavities. Bacteria exist outside the body for a long time, and purulent melting of tissues occurs over many months - weeks.
