| Actinomycosis is an infectious disease that appears throught the world, in cattle and human beings. It is a chronic granulomatous and suppurative lesion, usually affecting the cervicofacial area. Definitive diagnosis, by culture or biopsy, is not always possible, so the clinician must suspect it by its clinical presentation. It is the purpose of this article to present the patients diagnosed and treated in our Department during the last 5 years, and to review the ideal therapy. |
