The question of the need and nature of surgical treatment is resolved as follows.

Symptoms of the disease develop gradually: at first, granulomas are deep in the mucous membrane, then festering fistulas appear in the oral cavity. Then there are signs of intoxication: a slight increase in temperature, general weakness, headache; actinomycosis of the lungs. Affects the lower part of the lungs. The clinical course and symptoms are similar to pneumonia.

The cause is often primary pathologies that weaken local immunity. These include caries, tartar, plaque, gum disease, actinomycosis of the tonsils. The defeat occurs if the mucous membrane of the oral cavity is disturbed. In this case, actinomycetes invade tissues and provoke actinomycetes of the maxillofacial cavity. The inflammatory process spreads to the bone tissue, and it begins to die.

In this case, pathogenic microorganisms affect the subcutaneous fat layer, the skin becomes bluish-red, dense and shiny. Over time, the fistulas soften, liquid pus is released from them. Actinomycosis of the skin becomes chronic, affects the internal organs, can be fatal; actinomycosis of the oral cavity. It is a chronic disease that mainly affects middle-aged and older people.

Fungi penetrate the skin through various lesions and cause pronounced changes in the integument. The external changes that occur with the epidermis are visible to the naked eye: the body is covered with convex nodules, which then become deep-seated infiltrates. As the disease progresses,some form a fistula and open. Most often, the cervico-facial region is affected.

Skin infection can be primary or secondary. In the first case, actinomycetes enter the body through wounds and other injuries. In secondary infection, skin infection occurs from the tonsils, mammary gland, lymph nodes, etc. The disease can develop on any part of the skin or internal tissues. Depending on this, several types of the disease are distinguished:
