Abstract
A recurrent infection of the left cervical area dorsal to the sternocl eidomastoid muscle with actinomycosis in a 6-year-old girl is presente d. Several antibiotic regimens failed, and repeated surgical treatment s were necessary. The existence of a lateral cervical cyst and subsequ ent infection with agents of actinomycosis may have been the route of infection in this case.
