Perichondritis of the auricle: bacterial or fungal? (A case series).
Background: Suppurative perichondritis of the auricle is a common disease that can easily cause malformations if it develops into an uncontrolled infection. In nearly half of the cases, otolaryngologists cannot identify the pathogens involved.
Case presentation: In the present work, we described two cases of pyogenic perichondritis, with negative on conventional culture. However, using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), we detected fungal infections in the patients and after the patients were given anti-fungal treatment, the patients achieved a good prognosis.
Conclusions: These cases highlighted the possibility that fungi might be the involved pathogens in patients who have had multiple negative bacterial cultures, and mNGS should be applied in these cases. mNGS could be used as a supplement to traditional culture methods.
