Actinomycotic dacryocystitis.
Abstract
The case history and the diagnostic considerations of dacryocystitis caused by Actinomyces israelii in a 40-year-old female patient are presented. It is very rare that Actinomyces is the cause of a darcryocystitis and only few descriptions of this entity are known from the literature. The course of this dacryocystitis is characterized by periods in which the patient is free of complaints, interspersed with acute fistulizing exacerbations.
