Furuncles are common infections of hair follicles. Staphylococcus aureus is frequently the causative agent, though other bacteria may also be pathogenic, especially for furuncles in the vulvovaginal area, the perirectal area, and the buttocks. A simple furuncle can be treated by incision and drainage. Systemic antibiotics are indicated in only special circumstances, and Gram stain is helpful in choosing an appropriate one. Some patients are plagued by recurrent furuncles because of follicular abnormalities, climatic conditions, colonization by pathogenic strains, reinfection, debility, or immunodeficiency. I present various strategies for treatment and prevention of recurrent furunculosis.
疖是毛囊的常见感染。金黄色葡萄球菌常为致病菌，不过其他细菌也可能致病，尤其是在外阴阴道区域、直肠周围区域和臀部的疖。单纯性疖可通过切开引流进行治疗。仅在特殊情况下才使用全身性抗生素，革兰氏染色有助于选择合适的抗生素。一些患者因毛囊异常、气候条件、致病菌株定植、再感染、身体虚弱或免疫缺陷而反复发生疖。我介绍了治疗和预防复发性疖病的各种策略。
