Question:

Which type of stomatitis is produced in case of actinomycosis?

Show Hint

Actinomycosis vs Actinobacillosis:
Actinomyces bovis (Lumpy Jaw) $\rightarrow$ Sclerosing osteomyelitis of mandible/jaw bone.
Actinobacillus lignieresii (Wooden Tongue) $\rightarrow$ Granulomatous glossitis of soft tissue.
  • Fibrinous
  • Ulcerative
  • Sclerosing
  • Necrotic

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Understanding the Concept:

Actinomycosis (Lumpy Jaw) in cattle causes chronic suppurative and sclerosing osteomyelitis/stomatitis with extensive dense fibrous tissue proliferation.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

Actinomycosis (Lumpy Jaw) caused by Actinomyces bovis:
- A chronic granulomatous disease primarily affecting the mandible, maxilla, and oral hard tissues of cattle.
- The bacteria induce chronic suppurative pyogranulomatous inflammation characterized by 'sulfur granules' surrounded by massive indurated fibrous connective tissue proliferation, periosteal bone destruction, and reactive osteophyte formation.
- This intense fibrotic, indurated scarring reaction in the oral mucosa and sublingual tissues is pathologically designated as Sclerosing Granulomatous Stomatitis.

Step 3: Final Answer:

Thus, the type of stomatitis produced in actinomycosis is Sclerosing, matching option (C).
