A case of actinomycosis of the liver is recorded due to a Gram-negative strepto- Summary,
thrix, which began as a case of acute appendicitis and continued as an obscure
pyrexia for some weeks before liver abscesses formed and the organism was isolated
therefrom.
I am indebted to the medical superintendent, Dr. D. S. Sandiland, for permission
to record this case.
