Actinomyces rarely cause infections in nasal sinuses with local symptoms and its identification is difficult so initiation of treatment might be delayed. A 7-year-old boy with recurrent nasal bleeding was found to be infected in paranasal sinuses with actinomyces which was confirmed by histopathological studies. The case was initially managed with surgical resection and systemic antibiotics and later discharged and referred to out patient clinic.

Keywords: actinomyces, nasal sinus, recurrent bleeding.
