Abstract
|
|
|
Actinomycosis, in which the principal causative agent in man is known to
Actinomyces israelii, is a chronic, suppurative diseases characterized by extensive
fibrosis, multiple abscesses, and formation of sinus tracts that drain suppurative
exudates. On the basis of the anatomical sites involved; it can be subclassified into the
carvicofacial form, which is the most common form, pulmonary form and abdominal
form. Kidneys are rarely affected. Clinically, radiologically, and at operation it is difficult
to differentiate the renal actinomycosis from renal tuberculosis and renal carcinoma. The
prognosis is excellent after nephrectomy followed by appropriate antibiotic therapy.
We presented a case of renal actinomycosis with a brief review of the literatures.
