Özet

The anaerobic, Gram-negative bacillus Alloprevotella rava has recently been described in the human oral cavity. To our knowledge, this species has not been isolated from chronic osteomyleitis samples. We present the first case of A. rava infection in a 92-year-old woman with polymicrobial chronic mandibular osteomyelitis, mimicking oral squamous cell carcinoma. (c) 2021 The Author(s).
