Conclusions
Given the concomitant infection with COVID-19 and unusual presentation,
the patient’s cultures support the notion that COVID-19 can affect the
presence of bacteria within certain anatomical regions. Specifically,
Peptoniphilus indolicus is not normally found outside of the vagina or
gut biome. Like other parts of the body, the sinonasal cavity can become
avascular as a result of COVID infections. It is also rare for orbital
abscesses to drain spontaneously, as this abscess did.
