title: [Abdominal actinomycosis: review apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: Actinomycosis is a chronic bacterial infectious disease, characterized by multiple abscesses, draining sinuses and abundant dense fibrous tissue. The intra-abdominal variety is rarely found and difficult to diagnose. We report three cases of intra-abdominal actinomycosis successfully treated by surgery and by longterm antibiotic therapy. One patient had a liver actinomycosis and two had ileo-caecal disease. Pertinent literature is reviewed.
