The association of relapsing polychondritis with CSF pleocytosis is reported for the first time. Three cases are described in which infectious etiologies of the pleocytosis were excluded by appropriate cultures and serologic studies. We suggest that the finding of CSF pleocytosis in relapsing polychondritis does not merit empiric antimicrobial therapy in the absence of demonstrated infection.
复发性多软骨炎与脑脊液细胞增多症的关联首次被报道。本文描述了3例病例，通过适当的培养和血清学研究排除了细胞增多症的感染性病因。我们认为，在复发性多软骨炎患者中发现脑脊液细胞增多症，若未证实存在感染，则不值得进行经验性抗菌治疗。
