Thyroid abscess is a rare event especially in the pediatric age group. We report a 2-year-old girl with thyroid abscess who presented with fever and an anterior painful neck mass. Culture of the aspirated fluid yielded Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, which is one of the etiologies of pharyngitis and rash in children and, especially, young adults. As far as we are aware this is the first report of thyroid abscess in the pediatric or adult age group caused by Arcanobacterium haemolyticum.
甲状腺脓肿是一种罕见的疾病，特别是在儿童时期。我们报告了一例 2 岁女孩患有甲状腺脓肿，表现为发热和前颈部疼痛肿块。吸出的液体培养出解血阿克曼菌，这是儿童，尤其是年轻成人咽炎和皮疹的病因之一。据我们所知，这是首例由解血阿克曼菌引起的儿科或成人年龄组甲状腺脓肿的报告。
