Abstract:
Cases of actinomycosis, nocardiosis, and actinomycetoma are seen infrequently but consistently in the United States. When they are found, diagnosis can be difficult because of their resemblance to other bacterial, mycobacterial, and fungal infections. This article reviews the clinical presentation, therapy, and laboratory diagnosis of these actinomycetales.
