脓肿是继发于对病原体的免疫反应的脓液的集合。它可以发生在身体的任何地方,皮肤是最常见的器官。嘴唇脓肿是一种罕见的疾病。一般来说,这可能是由于感染因子,如病毒或细菌通过皮肤伤口进入,或通过血行传播,当存在严重的潜在疾病,如一般疾病或免疫缺陷。在检查期间和整个治疗过程中需要高度警惕,包括静脉抗生素治疗和紧急手术引流,因为它可能会导致有关定位的重大并发症,淋巴血管引流,最终传播。持续性脓肿,坏死组织,或空化病变令人担忧,重要的是排除免疫抑制或耐甲氧西林葡萄球菌。在这种情况下,一名22岁的男性患者患有单侧唇脓肿,误诊为过敏性食物反应,对外部引流和抗生素治疗反应良好。
An abscess is a collection of pus secondary to an immune response to a pathogen. It can occur anywhere in the body, with the skin as the most common organ involved. A lip abscess is a rare condition. Generally, it may be due to an infective agent such as a virus or bacteria entering through a skin wound, or through hematogenous spread when there is a severe underlying condition such as a general condition disorder or immunodeficiency. It requires hypervigilance during the examination and throughout the treatment course with intravenous antibiotic therapy and urgent surgical drainage, as it may cause significant complications regarding localization, lymphovascular drainage, and ultimate spread. Persistent abscess, necrotic tissue, or cavitated lesions are worrisome and it is important to rule out immunosuppression or a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus. In this case, a 22-year-old male patient with a unilateral lip abscess, misdiagnosed as an allergic food reaction, responded well to external drainage and antibiotic therapy.
