Abstract

Individuals with COVID-19 are prone to a variety of infections due to immune dysregulation. The present report presents a case of actinomycotic infection in the maxillary bone and sinus region in a patient with a history of COVID-19. This case report highlights the importance of considering bacterial infections including actinomycosis when encountering destructive lesions resembling more prevalent fungal infections due to different therapeutic medication protocols. In addition, a literature review of the existing reports of similar post-COVID-19 actinomycotic infection is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
