Foreign Body Giant Cell Reaction with Multi Drug Resistance to Anaerobic Bacteria in Maxillofacial Region: An Unusual Case Report
Foreign Body Giant Cells (FBGCs) are most commonly observed at the tissue/material interface, where the size of foreign particulate is too large to permit macrophage phagocytosis. The insertion of foreign bodies into human oral and perioral tissues may originate from traumatic events, postoperative dental procedures. When the infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa occurs in these conditions, it can result in life-threatening conditions due to its variable antibiotic resistance, and the treatment is questionable. Here, we report a case of FBGC reaction with multidrug resistance in a 35-year-old female patient postoperatively, who has undergone Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) under general anaesthesia for midfacial fracture.
