“…The two main causes are dental infections and sinusitis [4]. When caused by sinusitis, it more frequently involves the frontal bone and rarely the maxilla due to its relatively well developed vascular supply and thin bone structure [9]. In this case, the main risk factor was poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and the patient had recurrent maxillary sinusitis which eventually progressed to involve the maxillary bone.…”

Osteomyelitis of the maxilla is now a rare event with the advent of antibiotics. The two predominant causes are odontogenic infections and sinusitis. Immunocompromised states such as diabetes, HIV, and malnutrition increase the risk of osteomyelitis. It is important to recognize this early as it is a difficult entity to treat with potentially serious consequences. We report an unusual case of right sided maxillary osteomyelitis in a lady with poorly controlled diabetes in rural Lincolnshire. Biopsy of the right maxillary bone showed features of acute osteomyelitis. This responded well to a prolonged course of oral antibiotics.

“…Osteomyelitis is initiated from a contiguous focus of infection or by hematogenous spread. Hematogenous osteomyelitis is infrequent in the jaws, the disease being caused primarily by odontogenic infections (1–3, 5). Trauma, especially compound fractures, is the second leading cause (1–6).…”

“…Hematogenous osteomyelitis is infrequent in the jaws, the disease being caused primarily by odontogenic infections (1–3, 5). Trauma, especially compound fractures, is the second leading cause (1–6). In our case, although the patient had a fracture 25 years ago and there were no symptoms for the following 20 years, osteomyelitis' symptoms, such as swelling, pain, and purulent discharge, were seen 20 years after the trauma.…”

“…Osteomyelitis of the jaws is a relatively rare condition, which may be precipitated by immunosuppression (Koorbusch and Fotos, 1992; Pantaleo et al , 1993). Dental extractions in HIV‐infected subjects, in the developed world, generally heal uneventfully (Porter et al , 1993; Glick et al , 1994).…”

Oral opportunistic infections developing secondary to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been reported from the early days of the epidemic and have been classified by both the EC-Clearinghouse and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Among the fungal infections, oral candidiasis, presenting in African HIV-infected patients has been sporadically documented. We review the literature with respect to candidal carriage, oral candidiasis prevalence and the predictive value of oral candidiasis for a diagnosis of underlying HIV disease in African HIV-infected patients. The use of oral candidiasis as a marker of disease progression, the species of yeasts isolated from the oral cavity in Africa and the resistance of the yeasts to antifungal agents and treatment regimens are discussed. Orofacial lesions as manifestations of the systemic mycoses are rarely seen in isolation and few cases are reported in the literature from Africa. In spite of the high incidence of noma, tuberculosis, chronic osteomyelitis and syphilis in Africa, surprisingly there have been very few reported cases of the oral manifestations of these diseases in HIV-positive individuals. Orofacial disease in HIV-infected patients is associated with marked morbidity, which is compounded by malnutrition. The authors indicate specific research areas, initially directed at the most effective management strategies, which would complete data in this important area.
