We describe extensive multiple subcutaneous abscesses involving the peri-scapular region, the right posterior and lateral peri-trochanteric area and ipsilateral thigh occurring in a 66-years-old woman. Streptococcus gordonii was identified as the unique pathogen. Despite this microrganism is generally considered not pathogenic, it has been previously described as responsible for two cases of peritonitis and one case of endocarditis. The patient has been treated with immediate surgical incision and drainage and was cured after two months of antibiotic therapy, medications and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
我们描述了一名66岁女性出现的广泛多发性皮下脓肿，累及肩胛周围区域、右后侧和转子周围外侧区域以及同侧大腿。戈登链球菌被确定为唯一病原体。尽管这种微生物通常被认为无致病性，但此前曾有报道称它导致了两例腹膜炎和一例心内膜炎。该患者接受了立即手术切开引流治疗，并在经过两个月的抗生素治疗、药物治疗和高压氧治疗后痊愈。
