Pseudorhonas aeruginosa in post-piercing perichondritis: Two case reports

Résumé

The frequency of body piercing has increased in France over the past few years, particularly among teenagers. Piercing can be performed at different sites on the body, especially in the cartilage of the ears. We relate two cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa chondritis. A 10 year retrospective study at the Marseille University Hospital found no additional pediatric cases. These infectious complications can sometimes be necrotizing. It is therefore important to inform the medical staff on the hygiene measures that need to be respected and the patients on the treatment to follow after the piercing as well as the signs to watch for, possibly indicating chondritis. The esthetic consequences depend on early diagnosis. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
