      The purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem: Let \(M\) be a real analytic manifold of dimension 3 or 4, and let \(X\) and \(Y\) be two \(R\)-analytic commuting vector fields on \(M\). Let \(U\) be a relatively compact open set of \(M\) such that \(X\) is non-zero on the boundary of \(U\) and the index of \(X\) on \(U\) is non-zero, too. Then \(X\) and \(Y\) have a common zero in \(U\). In particular, any two \(R\)-analytic commuting vector fields on a 4- dimensional manifold with non-zero Euler characteristic have a common zero.
