Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A patient aged 42, diagnosed with polycondritis for approximately 14 years is presented; she has undergone urgent surgery for a splenic abscess in imminent fistulization in the left pleural cavity. Her susceptibility to infections is marked in time by surgical interventions for pultaceous amygdalitis, an abscess of the right submandibular salivary gland, a splenic abscess. To be noted the peculiar connection between the illness and the pregnancy, which differs from the data to be found in reference literature that is the association with a tendency to spontaneous abortion and the sudden installation of an evolutionary acute episode during pregnancy, which was followed by deafness. Based on these facts, immunopathogenic observations on recurrent polycondritis are getting into shape. |
