Özet

Uncontrolled use of medicines bring with it serious health problems. Long-term and uncontrolled use of steroids, without the supervision of a healthcare professional, may cause unexpected infections due to immunosuppression. The authors present a patient with maxillary osteomyelitis caused by Kocuria species in a 41-year-old male who has been receiving methylprednisolone without control for 1.5 years.
