Abstract

A 51-year-old male with a clinical history of abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea underwent spiral computed tomography of the abdomen with intravenous contrast medium enhancement. The findings were an inflammatory mass with cystic and solid characteristics arising from the ileocecal region and extending to the peritoneum and right iliopsoas muscle, with adjacent lymphadenopathy. Histology after surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of actinomycosis lesions in perienteric fat.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
