[Maxillary actinomycosis and maxillary candidiasis in the immunocompetent patient].

Two distinct cases of maxillary actinomycosis and maxillary candidosis in immunocompetent hosts are reported; These infections are rare and similar to mycotic extramucosal non allergic sinusitis. Microbiology and microscopic examination are mandatory to prompt and successful management. Endoscopic endonasal surgery by middle meatotomy seems to be an adequate treatment for these particular entities.

[Pelvic actinomycosis].

Actinomycosis is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the female genital tract predominantly affecting the upper sections. Its appearance is in close connection with expended use of different IUDs. Its histological demonstration needs the detection of the specific sulphur granules. Because they often are rare it is recommended working of 8-12 paraffin blocks from suspected cases. The exact diagnosis is of high significance for preventing possible recivides after surgical intervention.

[A case of actinomycosis of the fallopian tube (author's transl)].

Reported is the rare case of an actinomycosis of the right Fallopian tube. The clinical picture is characterized by a comparatively sudden onset of abdominal pain, obstipation and feaver as well as a markedly increased ESR. Good co-operation between the various clinical disciplines (urology, surgery, internal medicine, gynecology) lead to an exact preoperative localization of the scaring and infiltrating process that is then verified by laparotomy. The right adnexae show massive inflammatory infiltrates and form a conglomerate tumor with the adjacent sigma and appendix. Characteristic actinomycetic druses are found histologically only in the right Fallopian tube. On the left side a florid non-specific salpingitis is antibiotics is withoug complications. Mode of infection, differential diagnosis and prognosis that is dependent on a correct diagnosis at an early stage are discussed.
