Fusobacterium in presumed Actinomyces canaliculitis. 1977

R J Weinberg, and M J Sartoris, and G F Buerger, and J F Novak

Based on stained smears of material obtained from the canaliculus, three cases of canaliculitis were presumed to be caused by Actinomyces. Cultures of these cases showed Fusobacterium to be the probable infectious agent producing the disease.
