Ap. Poge et al., INFECTION OF A LATERAL CERVICAL CYST WITH PROPIONIBACTERIUM-PROPIONICUM, FUSOBACTERIUM-NUCLEATUM, AND CAPNOCYTOPHAGA SP, Pediatric surgery international, 10(7), 1995, pp. 492-493
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.
