| The main step in the pathogenesis of actinomycosis is disruption of the mucosal membrane leading to suppuration and abscess formation. |
| Carbuncles are clusters of furuncles connected subcutaneously, causing deeper suppuration and scarring. |
| The process of pus formation, called suppuration, occurs when the agent that provoked the inflammation is difficult to eliminate. |
| I was once called to give an opinion over a case of femoral necrosis with suppuration following coxalgia in a young boy. |
| Separation of the necrotic tissue along the fascial planes with suppuration may occur. |
| Chronic suppurative otitis media is chronic suppuration of the middle ear cavity associated with a defect in the tympanic membrane. |
