Breast abscesses are typically seen in the setting of complicated mastitis in lactating women. Abscesses resulting from foreign bodies are not commonly seen in the breast. Over the past few decades, body piercing has become increasingly common, yet the infectious morbidity resulting from it is not well recognized. A breast abscess associated with nipple piercing is described in this report.
A 19-year-old woman developed a breast abscess approximately 10 weeks after the placement of a nipple ring. Multiple drainage procedures were performed before the infection was controlled. The cultures grew Mycobacterium chelonei, an organism not commonly causing soft-tissue infection.
Body piercing may be associated with significant infections. The use of sterile equipment and techniques should be used to prevent these uncommon infections.
乳腺脓肿通常见于哺乳期妇女的复杂性乳腺炎。异物导致的乳腺脓肿并不常见。在过去几十年中,身体穿刺变得越来越普遍,但其所致的感染发病率尚未得到充分认识。本报告描述了一例与乳头穿刺相关的乳腺脓肿。
一名19岁女性在佩戴乳头环约10周后发生了乳腺脓肿。在感染得到控制之前进行了多次引流手术。培养结果显示为龟分枝杆菌,这是一种不常引起软组织感染的微生物。
身体穿刺可能与严重感染有关。应使用无菌设备和技术来预防这些不常见的感染。
