actinomycosis
Actinomycosis is a rare, long-term bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces species. These bacteria usually reside harmlessly in the mouth, throat, digestive system, and female genital tract without causing any issue. However, they can cause actinomycosis when they penetrate the lining of these parts of the body due to injury or surgery, leading to the formation of painful abscesses in the mouth, lungs, breast, or any other parts of the body. Actinomycosis can also spread, infecting other locations throughout the body. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and in severe cases, surgery to remove the infected tissue.
