Recurrent auricular perichondritis in a child as the initial manifestation of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: a case report.

Caruso AM1, Camacho M Jr, Brietzke S.Author information 1Department of Otolaryngology, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, 8901 Wisconsin Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814. andria.m.caruso.mil@health.mil.AbstractAn 8-year-old boy presented to our otolaryngology clinic three times in a 3-month period for treatment of acute auricular perichondritis. At each visit he was treated with an antibiotic, and he responded quickly in each case, with a complete resolution of his infection. The results of standard autoimmune laboratory tests were negative. Three months after his initial presentation, the patient developed the classic signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus, including polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss. He was diagnosed with and treated for type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, and his recurrent infections ceased. There has been no recurrence over a 4-year follow-up period. This case report serves to illustrate the fact that recurrent infections may be the first sign of diabetes. Since diabetes and perichondritis are known to be associated, we recommend that for patients who present with recurrent episodes of perichondritis, a basic metabolic panel and measurement of the glycosylated hemoglobin level be added to standard autoimmune laboratory testing to possibly identify undiagnosed diabetes.

In children, this entity is considered infrequent. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl living in a child care institution with "cauliflower ear" that was interpreted as a possible sign of child abuse.

Efficacy of adalimumab for a refractory case of relapsing polychondritis with reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Nakamura H1, Suzuki T, Nagaoka K, Yamasaki S, Tamai M, Hayashi T, Kawakami A.Author information 1Unit of Translational Medicine, Department of Immunology and Rheumatology, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, 1-7-1 Sakamoto, Nagasaki 852-8501, Japan. nhideki@nagasaki-u.ac.jpAbstractA 68-year-old man with a fever of unknown origin was admitted to our hospital. Bilateral auricularis and nasal root inflammation, with auricular perichondritis positive for anti-type II collagen (CII) antibody, led to a diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis (RP). Because the patient was refractory for high-dose glucocorticoid therapy, adalimumab was used. After the initiation of 40 mg of adalimumab, a rapid improvement of clinical manifestations, with a reduction in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), together with a titer of anti-CII antibody was observed.
