Q

Actino histo: “____“-shaped filaments that form a radiating “______” pattern

A

club-shaped…rosette pattern

18
Q

What can you stain actino with to see the organisms?

A

methiamine silver

Q

What can be used to diagnose actino on the sulfur granules?

A

fluorescein-conjugated antiserum

20
Q

What is the first line treatment for actinomycosis? What is an alternative if there is an allergy? How long?

A

Its a debate between penicillin and amoxicillin. But use lots of it. Tetracycline if allergic..5-6 weeks UP TO 12 months (holy shit)
