title: Actinomycosis of the middle ear.
abstract: Another case of actinomycosis of the ear is described in a nine-year-old boy, drawing attention to the increasing incidence of diseases of the ear considered to be rare. The patient presented with the clinical signs of chronic purulent otitis media, not responding to conservative treatment. After the diagnosis of actinomycosis was established the patient was treated by surgery and long-term antibiotic medication, responding favourably.
