“…As of now, there have been 26 individual Actinomyces species implicated in human clinical infections (actinomycoses), with A. odontolyticus, A. meyeri, A. israelii, and A. gerencseriae responsible for more than 90% of these infections [9,10]. Most cases (40-60%) of actinomycoses affect the cervicofacial region and the central nervous system (CNS), while abdominal (20-30%), thoracic/pulmonary (20-30%), pelvic (3-5%), and cutaneous (3-5%) manifestations must also be considered [9][10][11][12][13]. The clinical diagnosis of actinomycosis may be quite difficult: the clinical presentation of the patient, past medical history (injuries, immunosuppression, cancers), laboratory parameters, microbiological culture, and histopathology must all be taken into consideration, as this disease frequently mimics a malignancy or infection by other bacteria (e.g., Nocardia, mycobacteria) [11][12][13].…”
