Radical surgical intervention is inevitable in cases with recurring chronic actinomyces osteomyelitis. A 12 month course of oral ampicillin/sulbactam therapy was initiated. There are 4 professionals named 'Ferdi Albayrak', who use LinkedIn to exchange information, ideas, and opportunities. We performed above-elbow amputation in our case, which did not cure the problem, despite 4 antibiotic therapies. amputated the hand of a 33 year-old patient at the wrist ( 4). Amputation is indicated for recurring cases, despite adequate treatment. All of the cases but two in the literature have been successfully cured with this treatment ( 1– 4). The treatment of actinomyces osteomyelitis incudes surgical debridement combined with a 6–12 month course of large doses of penicillin, ampicillin and sulphonamides ( 1– 4). ( 5) Histological findings were similar to other cases in the literature and the causative agent was Actinomyces israelii. reported that Staphyloccoci are usual concomitant pathogens of actinomyces. Anaerobic cultures were negative, whereas Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in aerobic cultures. Carpal and metacarpal bones were completely destructed the radius, ulna and phalanxes were severely affected by the ongoing infection. In our case, prolonged disease, poor patient compliance and failure to eradicate the pathogen resulted in a much worse clinical scenario. In three of these cases, anaerobic cultures were negative ( 1– 4). ( 2) Other cases in the literature are caused by Actinomyces israelii. have reported Actinomyces meyeri osteomyelitis in a 40 year-old patient in the fifth proximal phalanx. Identification of yellow sulphur granules in histological specimens is pathognomic ( 1– 4). It is not always possible to isolate the microorganism. Anaerobic culture and biopsy are necessary for definitive diagnosis ( 1, 2). Typical presentation and radiographic examination may resemble tuberculosis, fungal infections or malignancies. ( 1– 4) Our case is distinct from the literature as it is the only case with all of the bones distal to the mid-forearm involved. Of these, 13 have involved metacarpals and phalanxes, and 2 have involved the carpal bones. So far, only 15 cases with actinomyces osteomyelitis of the hand are reported. Involvement of the upper extremities is very rare, and only case reports are present in the literature. A twelve month course of ampicillin/sulbactam was initiated. There were no complications following the surgery. No additional diagnostic tests were necessary, and the patient underwent above elbow limb amputation. Biopsy specimens from the nodules confirmed the previous diagnoses of chronic Actinomyces israelii. Anaerobic cultures of the pus were negative, whereas aerobic cultures yielded Staphylococcus aureus. Chronic osteomyelitis of the distal forearm and hand on radiological examination. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were elevated (Sed: 120 mm/h (0–20), CRP: 4.7 mg/dL (0–0.5)), but there was no leukocytosis. Deformity was evident, there was no active wrist movement supination and pronation were severely restricted. He had been on antibiotics irregularly for 12 years. He had been diagnosed with chronic actinomyces osteomyelitis and underwent medical therapy and surgical debridement in four different incidents. His symptoms had begun with pain and swelling without trauma 16 years ago.
