Abdominal actinomycosis.

Abstract

Four cases of abdominal actinomycosis managed during a two year period at Ndola Central Hospital are reported with a review of relevant literature. Difficulties associated in diagnosing this form of the disease are stressed. It is suggested that a limited form of surgery in combination with parenteral penicillin therapy is usually effective in the management of abdominal actinomycosis.
