Introducción

Las infecciones del pabellón auricular se deben habitualmente a la infección por Staphilococcus Aureus. Es habitual que el paciente se haya realizado un pendiente en la zona de la infección. La infección por viruela del Mono ha pasado de ser una infección endémica a una emergencia sanitaria a nivel mundial.

Exponemos en este artículo cinco casos de infección del pabellón auricular por pendiente por viruela del mono y que características comunes hemos visto que las diferencian de la infección por Staphilococcus Aureus.

Discusión

Los síntomas de la viruela del mono incluyen malestar general, fiebre con linfadenopatía uni o bilateral, y posteriormente la aparición en uno o dos días de lesiones cutáneas, queremos alertar al otorrinolaringólogo y a la sociedad médica de la posibilidad diagnóstica de viruela del mono en pacientes con una pericondritis auricular.
