Abstract

|
|
Peritonsillar abscess is a common deep throat infection. Early diagnosis and prompt, appropriate management of a peritonsillarabscess prevents mortality. A 45-year-old woman on steroids for an ulcerative colitis (UC) exacerbation presented with sorethroat and multiple skin ulcers on her left forearm and right foot. Computed tomography of the neck revealed a peritonsillar abscess.Gram staining and culture of the abscess were negative, and a skin biopsy suggested pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). Thefinal diagnosis was peritonsillar involvement of steroid-refractory PG-associated UC. The patient showed a complete responseto infliximab. Here, we report a case of successful infliximab treatment for peritonsillar involvement of steroid-refractory PGassociatedUC. (Intest Res 2014;12:153-156)
