Suppurative cervical adenitis caused by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans was isolated on culture of an aspirate from a 36-year-old woman with unilateral cervical adenitis. We believe this to be the first report of A. actinomycetemcomitans causing suppurative cervical adenitis.
