Abstract
Primary Actinomycosis of the Knee and Ankle Joint: An Unusual Manifestation
Recep Tekin, Mehmet Gem, Yeliz Arman Karakaya, Vuslat Boà Ânak and Ahmet Kapukkaya
Actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces spp. is a chronic, progressive, suppurative and granulomatous bacterial infection. The general sites of infection are the head and neck, thorax and abdomen. Primary actinomycosis infection both on the knee and the ankle is uncommon. We report a very rare case of actinomycosis of the knee and ankle joint that was diagnosed and successfully treated with surgical resection and long-term antibiotic therapy.
