Abstract
Summary A case of cervical actinomycosis in a 10-year-old colored male child herein reported is of interest because: 1. The diagnosis was made before sinus formation occurred. 2. The organism involved was isolated, cultured, and identified as the Actinomyces bovis (of the Wolff-Israel type). 3. Sulfanilamide, as well as deep roentgen therapy, was ineffective in the treatment. 4. Recovery apparently occurred under adequate thymol therapy.
