Abstract
Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection caused by the Actinomyces spp, with roughly three new cases per 100,000 people per year. Actinomyces israelii is the pathogenic agent behind approximately 70% of all cervicofacial actinomycosis cases. A history of a recent dental procedure is frequently elicited upon questioning, as trauma is the most crucial predisposing factor to this infection. Our case follows a 54-year-old Hispanic male who presented to our dermatology clinic for evaluation of a nonresolving erythematous plaque of 8-month duration on the left nasolabial fold.
