Paronychia can be both acute and chronic dependent on the chronicity of disease, with different etiologies linked to each. Acute paronychia is commonly secondary to bacterial infections, while chronic paronychia can be multifactorial and include inflammatory causes.
We present a case of chronic paronychia that developed into osteomyelitis of the affected finger.
Because nail folds are anatomically close to the phalanges, it is important to monitor for worsening disease, as paronychia can develop into more serious infections.
甲沟炎可分为急性和慢性,取决于疾病的病程,每种类型有不同的病因。急性甲沟炎通常继发于细菌感染,而慢性甲沟炎可能是多因素的,包括炎症原因。
我们报告一例慢性甲沟炎发展为患指骨髓炎的病例。
由于甲皱襞在解剖学上靠近指骨,因此监测病情恶化很重要,因为甲沟炎可能发展为更严重的感染。
