Chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis and facial actinomycosis of six‐month duration

摘要

The patient was a 55‐year‐old man with chronic inflammation of the right parotid area of the face. Actinomyces israelii, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Parvimonas micra were isolated from specimens of the subtemporal abscess. Therapy started as clarithromycin and was followed by amoxicillin/clavulanate because of the resistance patterns of co‐infecting F. nucleatum.
