A 20-year-old Australian woman with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes presented with life-threatening Streptococcus pyogenes and Herpes simplex infection of her external genitalia following a routine perineal "Brazilian" bikini wax. Extensive pubic hair removal is now common among young adults in Australia and elsewhere. However, the infectious risks of these practices, particularly among immunosuppressed individuals, are often underappreciated.
一名20岁的澳大利亚女性,1型糖尿病控制不佳,在进行常规会阴“巴西式”比基尼脱毛后,出现了危及生命的化脓性链球菌和单纯疱疹外阴感染。如今,在澳大利亚和其他地方的年轻人中,大面积去除阴毛很常见。然而,这些做法带来的感染风险,尤其是在免疫抑制个体中,往往未得到充分认识。
