Inflammation of a nerve or nerves, particularly when caused by actinomycotic infection or related conditions.
From actino- (ray) + neuro- (nerve, from Greek neuron) + -itis (inflammation). The 'actino-' prefix may refer to the radiating pattern of nerve damage.
Nerve inflammation caused by actinomycotic infections can take months to develop, making diagnosis incredibly tricky because patients and doctors often don't connect the dots between the original infection and later nerve problems.
