Abstract
- A case of hematogenous spread of an actinomycotic granule to the left hip joint is presented. This occurred in a 62-year-old woman under immunosuppressive treatment for Wegener's disease. It was a chance finding on routine synovium biopsy during a total hip replacement. Treatment consisted of 1 g ampicillin I.M. a day for six weeks. The postoperative course was uneventful.
