摘要

坏疽性口炎又称坏疽性口腔炎，是一种破坏性口腔坏疽感染，主要影响生活在世界最贫困地区的儿童。坏疽性口炎虽然罕见，但也会影响成年人，尤其是免疫力低下的成年人。关于坏疽性口炎是否会复发还存在争议。我们报告了一例坏疽性口炎复发的病例，患者是一名 65 岁的男性，在初次发病 2 年后症状复发。患者对抗生素治疗、支持性护理和连续清创反应良好。该病例表明，即使在初次治疗成功后，成人坏疽性口炎也可能复发。

Noma recurrence in an adult: A case report from the Noma Children Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria

Noma, also known as gangrenous stomatitis, is a devastating gangrenous infection of the mouth that predominantly affects children living in the poorest regions of the world. Although rare, noma can also affect adults, particularly those who are immunocompromised. Controversy exists about whether noma can recur. We report a case of a 65-year old man with recurrence of noma symptoms 2 years after his initial presentation. The patient responded well to antibiotic therapy, supportive care and serial debridement. This case demonstrates that noma can recur in adults, even after successful treatment of the initial treatment.
