Paraplegia due to actinomyces viscosus infection in the cat.

In a 3 year old female domestic cat a suppurative, granulomatous lesion of the tail and sacral area penetrated into the epidural space, causing paraplegia. A viscosus was isolated from the inflammatory tissues. A comparative light and electronmicroscopic study of the bacterial elements and the architecture of the granules (Drusen) show that the latter are in-vivo microcolonies of the agent.

Actinomyces infection in porous polyethylene orbital implant.

BACKGROUND: A 60-year-old patient developed actinomycotic inflammation within a porous polyethylene orbital implant which she received following enucleation. METHODS: She had repeated conjunctival exposures with inflammation; the primary implant was removed and replaced with another one. RESULTS: The anterior two-thirds of the porous implant was infiltrated with numerous actinomycotic granules surrounded by polymorphonuclear cells and necrotic debris. The organisms were demonstrated with Gram stains on the histopathologic preparations and with scanning electron microscopy. Within the zones of inflammation, the polyethylene skeleton of the implant was extensively damaged. CONCLUSION: Actinomycetes have been described as causative organisms in conjunctivitis, blepharitis, canaliculitis, dacryocystitis and keratitis, but to the best of our knowledge actinomycotic involvement has never been reported in an infected porous orbital implant.

Cytologic detection and clinical significance of Actinomyces israelii in women using intrauterine contraceptive devices.

Pancervicovaginal (Papanicolaou) smears exhibiting pseudomycilial-like clumps of organisms obtained from 35 women employing IUD's were studied by direct immunofluorescent technique for identification of A. israelii and A. naeslundi. In every case the specific fluorescence was achieved with species-specific antiserum against A. israelii. The clinical profile of these 35 women was retrospectively analyzed.
