A case of primary hepatic actinomycosis is reported. Multiple liver abscesses were diagnosed in a febrile 60-year-old-man by means of non-invasive techniques such as ultrasonography, CT and radioisotope scans. The aetiology was confirmed by the unusual finding of Actinomyces israelii in anaerobic blood cultures. Other sites were not involved. Early penicillin therapy enabled surgery to be avoided.
