[A recovered case of actinomycosis in the small intestines diagnosed with ultrasonography].

The authors report the history of a patient suffering from abdominal actinomycosis. The correct diagnosis could be established by an ultrasound-guided aspiration sampling from the small-intestinal abscess, following the sonographic localisation of the lesion. The patient recovered by a long-term antibiotic treatment. Related to the case the authors review the relevant literary data of the past few years and point to the value of ultrasonography in the successful management of the disease.
