【 摘 要 】

Actinomyces rarely cause infections in nasal sinuses with local symptoms and its identification is difficult so the initiation of treatment might be delayed. A 7-year-old boy with recurrent nasal bleeding was found to be infected in the paranasal sinuses with actinomyces, which was confirmed by histopathological studies. This case was initially managed with surgical resection and systemic antibiotics and later discharged and referred to an out-patient clinic.
