Cervicofacial actinomycosis following surgical trauma in rats. 1978

S A Hirsch

Cervicofacial actinomycosis in man is often associated with physical trauma. The presence of intrabony abscesses in rat mandibles following surgical trauma supports the clinical observation that antecedent trauma is an important factor in the pathogenesis of cervicofacial actinomycosis.
