In patients with abdominal actinomycosis who have a documented penicillin allergy, standard first-line therapy cannot be used. This protocol defines the antimicrobial approach for this specific clinical situation.
The patient presents with actinomycosis affecting the abdomen and has a known penicillin allergy — a constraint that directly shapes the choice of antimicrobial therapy.
An antibiotic alternative to penicillin is used; the specific agent and the full treatment criteria are detailed in the structured protocol.
Resolution of actinomycosis infection, usually between 6 and 12 months of antimicrobial therapy.
