Unusual Cause of Acute Sinusitis and Orbital Abscess in COVID-19
Positive Patient
- Courtney Shires,
- Theodore Klug
Abstract
Peptoniphilus indolicus is not usually seen in the eye but is a
commensal of the human vagina and gut. However, with COVID-19, eye
infections and other unusual complications are possible with unsuspected
bacteria. The patient presented here spontaneously drained this bacteria
through the skin, an uncommon occurrence with orbital abscesses.
