Abstract:
A peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is an infection that primarily affects the peritonsillar space. The incidence is estimated to affect 30 per 100,000 individuals annually, with a higher prevalence between the 15- and 30-year-old age groups. The pathogenesis of a PTA is a crucial step in effective management and prevention. Typically, a PTA has a polymicrobial etiology, aerobic, and anaerobic bacteria of oral flora. Multiple papers in the literature have studied the incidence of Klebsiella species in PTA cases. However, few studies have isolated Klebsiella ozaenae in a PTA. We present a case of a 29-year-old patient who was admitted as a case of a PTA. He underwent an incision and drainage of the right PTA in the operation room. A significant amount of purulent fluid was drained with a positive culture of K. ozaenae.
摘要:
扁桃体周围脓肿(PTA)是一种主要影响扁桃体周围空间的感染。据估计,每年每10万人中有30人受到影响,15岁和30岁年龄组的患病率较高。PTA的发病机制是有效管理和预防的关键步骤。通常,PTA具有多微生物病因,有氧,和口腔菌群的厌氧菌。文献中的多篇论文研究了PTA病例中克雷伯菌属的发病率。然而,很少有研究在PTA中分离出ozaenae克雷伯菌。我们介绍了一例29岁的患者,该患者因PTA而入院。他在手术室接受了右PTA的切开和引流。用K.ozaenae阳性培养物排出大量的脓液。
