This paper reports a series of patients with sporadic pinna perichondritis who presented to a district general hospital over a period of 10 years. The data examined included the causative organism, risk factors and pattern of antibiotic use.
A retrospective analysis of diagnosed cases of pinna perichondritis from 2001 to 2012 was performed. A literature review of pinna perichondritis was carried out using Pubmed with the key words 'pinna perichondritis', 'pinna abscess', 'pinna infection' and 'piercing'.
Pinna perichondritis was more likely to result from chondral than lobe piercings. The majority of cases were caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Most patients were not prescribed anti-pseudomonal antibiotics on presentation. This may result in persistent infection and long-term cosmetic defects.
本文报告了一系列在10年期间就诊于一家地区综合医院的散发性耳廓软骨膜炎患者。所检查的数据包括致病微生物、危险因素和抗生素使用模式。
对2001年至2012年诊断的耳廓软骨膜炎病例进行回顾性分析。使用PubMed对耳廓软骨膜炎进行文献综述，关键词为“耳廓软骨膜炎”、“耳廓脓肿”、“耳廓感染”和“穿刺”。
耳廓软骨膜炎更可能由软骨穿刺而非耳垂穿刺引起。大多数病例由铜绿假单胞菌引起。
大多数患者就诊时未使用抗假单胞菌抗生素。这可能导致持续感染和长期的美容缺陷。
