Actinomycosis
•Definition:
•Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative
granulomatous diseasecaused by
gram positive, branching, filamentous
anerobicbacteria “Actinomyces
israelii”which normally reside in
human oropharynx, GIT and vagina
Actinmycosis
•Pathology:
•Microscopic features:
1-Bacterial colonies (sulphur granules):consist of peripherally arranged red stained clubs and centrally interlacing gram positive branching filaments which are stained deep blue.
2-Inflammatory cellssurrounding the colonies. These consist of neutrophils, pus cells,macrophages, and lymphocytes.
3-Fibrous tissueat the periphery.

Rhinoscleroma
•Microscopic picture:
•Section in a granuloma shows:
•Mickulickzcell: the predominant cells, large rounded
with foamy cytoplasm and small darkly stained central
nuclei. (macrophages with hydropicdegeneration).

Rhinoscleroma
•Russelbodies: few in number, rounded or oval,
refractilestructurelessand red stained with eosin. Some
of the cells show flattened nuclei at the periphery , others
are devoid of nuclei ( plasma cells with hyaline
degeneration).
•Scattered lymphocytes, plasma cells, collagen bundles
and blood vessels.
