As
an Adjunct to Conventional Therapy When the Disease Process Is

Actinomycosis is a bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces israelii. Its symptoms
include slow growing granulomas that later break down, discharging viscid pus
containing minute yellowish granules. The treatment includes prolonged administration
of antibiotics (penicillin and tetracycline). Surgical incision and draining
of accessible lesions is also helpful.
