To examine the histopathological characteristics of inflammatory lesions containing Actinomyces based on DNA sequencing. Furthermore, case reports of actinomycosis in the maxillofacial region are summarized by a review of the literature.
The study comprised 12 cases of inflammatory lesions containing Actinomyces as diagnosed by DNA analysis. The average age of the subjects was 59 ± 15 years (6 males; 6 females).
The distribution of causative bacteria was: Actinomyces israelii in 9 cases, Actinomyces gerencseriae in 2 cases, and Actinomyces naeslundii in 1 case. Four cases diagnosed by DNA sequencing were positive for "Druse," a known morphological diagnostic characteristic of actinomycosis, and 8 cases lacked typical colony formation.
DNA analysis using paraffin-embedded samples is effective for both early and accurate diagnosis of oral lesions containing Actinomyces.
通过 DNA 测序,研究含放线菌的炎性病变的组织病理学特征。此外,通过文献复习,总结了口腔颌面部放线菌病的病例报告。
本研究共纳入 12 例经 DNA 分析诊断为含放线菌的炎性病变。患者平均年龄为 59±15 岁(6 名男性;6 名女性)。
病原菌分布为:9 例为衣氏放线菌,2 例为杰氏放线菌,1 例为内氏放线菌。4 例经 DNA 测序诊断为“Druse”阳性,这是放线菌病的一种已知的形态学诊断特征,8 例则缺乏典型的菌落形成。
使用石蜡包埋样本进行 DNA 分析,对口腔含放线菌病变的早期和准确诊断均有效。
